P.S.
P.S.Thanks again for employing name calling and lack of FACTS, that's not getting old at all...as you obviously need an education on the matter, here it is.
You are welcome.
Name calling is a cognitive bias and a technique to promote propaganda. Propagandists use the name-calling technique to incite fears or arouse positive prejudices with the intent that invoked fear (based on fearmongeringtactics) or trust will encourage those that read, see or hear propaganda to construct a negative opinion, in respect to the former, or a positive opinion, with respect to the latter, about a person, group, or set of beliefs or ideas that the propagandist would wish the recipients to believe. The method is intended to provoke conclusions and actions about a matter apart from an impartial examinations of the facts of the matter. When this tactic is used instead of an argument, name-calling is thus a substitute for rational, fact-based arguments against an idea or belief, based upon its own merits, and becomes an argumentum ad hominem.[1]
(1) attacking a person's charcater rather than the content of the arguments. Usually due to lack of knowledge or ability to formulate sucessful rebuttal.
