You went straight from ‘Yes, I did say something in regards to fragility’ to ‘You don’t want to have productive discussion with me’. The latter statement in no way follows from the former, or from anything else that you said previously, and as such is a non sequitur.
I am prepared to have a productive discussion with you, but I am losing hope that such a thing is possible.

It’s not ad hominem if I’m addressing an unspecific group. Google is right there bro.

This is from the Department of Philosophy at Texas State University:
Quote:
Ad Hominem
(Attacking the person): This fallacy occurs when, instead of addressing someone's argument or position, you irrelevantly attack the person or some aspect of the person who is making the argument. The fallacious attack can also be direct to membership in a group or institution.

By making blanket statements about the board, you are making a fallacious attack on all the members of CP. That is a straightforward ad hominem.
