You're right, it's ad hominem, I apologise.

I don't recall ever having made this statement. Why did you put in in quotes? That's misleading and uncool. I did make the statement that smoking is cool, but that was in response to a poster's query as to why people smoke, not why it shouldn't be banned in public places. If I failed to make this clear, I apologize.

So it was. Fair. The quote were more trying to imitate a particular tone of voice... hard to explain, its a bad typing habit I have.
But for the record:

#107: That's true. And black people won't die if they have to use a separate water fountain and sit at the back of the bus. But not dying is not a sufficient reason to outlaw an activity.
#115: OK, so the new rule is every activity for which I cannot find 10 reasons it benefits my life should be outlawed? Well, look, I'll be honest with you. I've tried and tried and I can't find 10 reasons black people benefit my life. So maybe they should be outlawed too?
