Perhaps he believes it's not an ad-hominem when he does it?

I'm glad you haven't left my friend. I don't know if you're authentic or a troll and I truly don't care. You follow the rules better than most people here. And you represent a position that is underrepresented here. To me it seems like the world's problems come about because we're afraid to talk to people we disagree with. I wish people would understand that it's okay to disagree. It's actually better that way. The more viewpoints we have the better we can consider and understand the best way forward. And often that could be a combination or compromise of different viewpoints.

I'm glad you haven't left my friend.

I wanted to reply earlier but it's been a hectic week. I didn't want to reply to a few comments and then disappear. I wait until there's down time so I can reply back to a lot of message and will be in a position to have a back and forth like you and I are having right now.

I don't know if you're authentic or a troll and I truly don't care.

I'm authentic, I believe what the problem is with some is that they have strong opinions about people/events and my opinions differ. I have no problem making my opinions known, I have no problem challenging other's opinion. Some see I don't back down and they get upset.

You follow the rules better than most people here

I do my best to follow the rules, I know my opinions aren't popular with a lot of popular here. By following the rules, I wont give them ammunition for baseless claims of me being a troll. I've never been into trolling, I say something outlandish, someone replies in kind and we're supposed to keep going on in circles? That's boring. Having genuine spirited conversation is fun, a lot can be learned. For instance, there was a guy who learned about the Anne Frank "ballpoint pen myth".

u/JoeyJoeJoe said the following

Thank you for taking the time to refute the ballpoint story with some credible evidence. I had heard the anecdote (with no evidence) but it's always been on my "maybe" list of possibilities in the back of my mind. Thanks for helping clean out the rubbish. 😁👍

You got that right, lol.

To me it seems like the world's problems come about because we're afraid to talk to people we disagree with.

Yes, a lot of grief in the world would be prevented if people would have open and honest dialogue.

It's actually better that way.

Yes, saidit would be boring if everybody agreed with everyone. What's interesting about everybody agreeing? That's boring.

The more viewpoints we have the better we can consider and understand the best way forward.

I agree.

And often that could be a combination or compromise of different viewpoints.

Again, I agree.

Shalom
