You may have the right, but it wasn't a reasonable thing to ask, being
irrelevant to any legitimate point you might have been trying to make
(it was very relevant to the illegitimate point you were trying to make).

What he said is very relevant, if true. If you think he was wrong about
something, you'd go much farther in advancing your argument by pointing
specifically what he's wrong about, and providing supporting evidence.

So far, all you've done is try to smear him with guilt by association,
rather than addressing the truth or falsity of what he's said. That
tells me two things: you don't have evidence that what he's said is
wrong, or you would have presented that evidence. And it tells me that
you don't let the fact that you don't have a relevant argument stop you
from arguing irrelevancies.

Are those fact really ones that you want to broadcast to the general
public? My opinion of you has dropped precipitously because of this
exchange, and it looks like I'm not the only one who feels that way.
