So, you're saying that I have no idea what I'm talking
about, so therefore you're not going to bother arguing
with me anymore. This is a classic example of an ad
hominem argument. To quote Wikipedia's definition:
False. Samantha made here no claim as to the validity of your
arguments, but complained about the ineffectiveness of interaction
with your mode of discourse. Ironically, your misconstrual of her
claim supports it.
Further, no one has said you "have no idea what [you're] talking
about." You make some good points and bring interesting content to
the discussion.
