"A witty saying proves nothing."



I would agree, although I'd also say there's nothing particularly witty or clever about the one I posted.


And it didn't really have a point. Unless your intention was to refute the message of mine through ad-hominem-via-rap-lyrics.


I assure you it had a point, and I apologize if it was obscured by way of the quote. The point being that, well, perhaps your point would be better expressed through non-sarcastic means.

No ad hominem was intended, it was more of a critique of the general idea of forming rebuttals that consist of sarcastic remarks.


Except maybe on the basis of the substance delivered? He makes a fair point sarcasm or not.
