No, you weren't just insulting me, you were trying to devalue my presence in the discussion by painting me a child, in turn diluting my position.

That's classic ad hominem because the insult was tied to the possible value of the argument.

Now you're just insulting me, and still not addressing my argument / position / points.

You're slap fighting all on your own now, as I won't engage in that edit by calling you things back.

Pro tip. If you don't want people to call you a child then don't act like one.
