They try to pin you down to an idea, or a person to attack you with, instead of discussing the points.
The story I will share is one when I was in a vegan server, and I was losing a debate badly. I was getting schooled on the prowess of epidemiology, and how it is much more significant than the stories that I tell or the logic/reasoning/ mechanistic functions I list.
Anyways, this guy sent a podcast.
Instead of arguing my points with sources and points, i observe the channel he sent me. (was on my phone so not mentally ascended, obviously this is a joke, but it does make it more difficult to rationally process studies and information on a phone, and sourcing the information to send to people), but I located the word bioenergetics on this guy's page. Immediately, I jumped to Ray Peat. While this guy was absolutely destroying me about epistemology, I attacked. I called him a sugar eating quack, who has high cortisol from consuming slave harvested sugar cane. I used repeated ad hominems, ridiculous amount of them at that. I felt I had pinned him down. I also pinned him down to Dr. Greger, who warns against endotoxins and AGEs in meat (topic for another day), and I insulted Dr. Greger and used him against this guy, calling him a balding plant consuming slave subhuman.
Now, I realize this is wrong. It's a certain defense mechanism when you can't form logical arguments, you feel beat by this person you have no comprehension of, so you use people similar to them to stand a chance.
Another example, is people doing this to me on the forum. @notsocommonthumb and @Korea , are quick to label me as a GODtis consuming subhuman, with no rational thought or critical thinking of my own. It seems to them that I have went through one brainwashing (bluepilling, normie advice) to Goatis brainwashing (blackpilling, muh raw meat fixes your life, blood is euphoria n shieet).
I also did this to someone else, can't rememeber but a regrettable action as well.
Anyways, this is something for me to improve and for others too. Evaluate the person for who they are and their thoughts, and don't use similar figures against them.
