> "It lets everyone know it's safe to ignore you" is a personal attack.

> ad hominem

Hardly-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

> Ad hominem (Latin for "to the person"),[1] short for argumentum ad hominem, typically refers to a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

You failed at the "genuine discussion" part by citing pop econ horseshit.

No, no one above "director" is doing shit, if that.

Wipe that polish off your face before speaking bootlicker.

> Yes, but why Jefferson

Because they thought Jeffersons thoughts on the matter were relevant.

> Why not Arglebargle?

Because I know what that word means.

> Or me?

Because "lisper central banks" doesn't produce any meaningful results in a search engine.

> I have musings on the topic of central banks, would you like to hear them?

Sure.

No- they just told you to read Jeffersons musings on the topic of central banks.

> Also, Radvocate, wondering if you can address the PII concerns other's have raised, as that is a very big deal.

For credit cards at least, you aren't giving any more information to them than you would any random website where you make a purchase.

Less, even, as there's no expiration date or CVV.

I hold PoA for my father- what's the best way, using this form, to say they're his accounts, but I'm the one filing the letter on his behalf?
