There are more ways than 1 to do it. Yours is not the only way of doing it. Though it is the most inexpensive.

You’ve really got your knickers in a twist over this. Is this something deeply personal to you?
Calling people “dumb as shit” cause they have different methods than yours is wildly arrogant, and doing is so incessantly touches on mental illness.

I had a few bourbons last night and over-commented to be sure. Mea culpa. I spent quite a lot of time learning to make clear ice and I had to navigate all of this BS to get to the easy solution.
As a critique of your comment, I didn’t resort to ad hominem I was talking about the comments themselves.
At the same time, there’s a little bit of pot and kettle action going on here which is not lost on me.
Have a great day.

“pot and kettle”
I left literally one comment on this entire thread, if that’s the same as me having my knickers in a twist and calling people dumb as shit for having methods that differ from my own, then I guess I’m a pot.
Did I call it an ad hominem? Not all insults are ad hominems. “You’re wrong because you’re dumb as shit” is an ad hominem. “You’re dumb as shit because you’re wrong” isn’t.
You didn’t premise your conclusions upon the insults, so I wouldn’t call them ad hominems. It’s still an overreaction though, not to mention unnecessarily rude.

Go reread. I never called anyone “dumb as shit”, just the comments. Rude? Sure I’ll own that.
I’m pretty sure you left more comments than one on what I wrote. Your commentary sure has the feel of “pretty worked up” but I won’t pretend to be a psychologist and tell you it’s a sign of mental illness: that’s a thing that’s reserved for real assholes on the Internet.
