"shit-for-brains" kinda discredits any and all arguments though doesn't it?

Technically not, since a lack of intelligence doesn't necessarily imply that something said by a given person is wrong (else an unintelligent person could make things more likely to be wrong by saying something, or would be unable to say that thing if it is true.)

Ok, shit-for-brains. 😜

This doesn't seem convincing to me because it's the exact same sort of criticism you'd make about any other ad hominem statement.

User name doesn't check out, and why would you open yourself to being called shit for brains like this?

Strangely, I've never had someone say that my username doesn't check out who also explained clearly why they thought that way. I think this is the second time.

And being called names by strangers online doesn't really register as anything but noise. I guess if it was in this thread, it would be slightly on topic, but elsewhere, it would probably just lead to reports and blocks.

The bonus panel explains why it doesn't.
