Microsoft's adware and spyware was designed by one of the wealthiest companies in the world, so it's good for you. Google's ad business is the most sophisticated on the planet, so their spying and tracking and reporting your location to the government is good for you, you're just too dumb to understand. The USA, one of the most powerful and advanced countries in the world has suspended FDA testing of dairy. Since you can't possibly know better, this must be a good thing.
This is called "appeal to authority" and it's a pretty unintelligent logical fallacy. Do better next time. Maybe read a book or two?

This is called ad hominem, and has no place here.
It's only ad hominem when the argument is an insult.
In this case there's an insult inside the argument, but importantly the insult is not the argument being made. Therefore it is not ad hominem.
The overall point, as you obviously understand, is that one should avoid personal insults when making a comment here.
