I never specifically stated that it was for these six points, I was referring to the article as a whole. I just do not think it is productive calling someone a petulant child and a liar in terms of having a productive discourse.

Strictly speaking, it's irrelevant, as these offensive words do not render the arguments he presented invalid. That's why I asked if these 6 points (actual arguments/statements) contained fallacies.

I think the ad hominem term is used too loosely these days, and is being applied where it really shouldn't be.

as it goes with cens0rshiiiiip ^^

I agree with you RoadTrain, I am using the term ad hominem in the more loose sense, as opposed to a more formal logical argument.

I certainly do not agree with hdbuck however, censorship is not a term that is being used to loosely today. The trend of censorship in the Bitcoin community has been concerning, at least the response from most people has been reassuring. I think that most of us here do believe in freedom and that through Bitcoin we can pursue and obtain more of that state, whatever that means.

such a vague person we got here..

using wide definitions, loosening the meaning of whatever concept you could put your twisted little historian/philospher/whatever soclialst mind onto.

the cherry on the cake being it also appears you dont know what freedom means now.. pity.

I can give you definitions of freedom if you like, freedom is in the mind, once you start to explore the concept it can become more complex. It can also mean different things to different people.

Price is going up, I wish peace and prosperity to all.
