To the person who is attempting to continue that debate with me:

All I'm saying is, I'm Jewish, I hung out with Jesuits when I was a kid, and my major in college was Speech and Rhetoric.

Feel free to present your arguments.

not cattiness

This isn't cattiness, it's fatuous overconfidence.

Re: not cattiness

It's pure argumentum ad hominem.

It's lousy debating strategy too - overconfidence does not project the appearance of credibility.

And even if he's right in his confidence, it's still not cattiness; it's a mere boast.
