When I see a crazy person throwing poop at everyone, I don't talk about how much fiber he's been eating or how good his pitching arm is...

I cross to the other side of the road and, if anything, say to someone next to me:

That mothefucker is crazy

And expect no more than a head nod in response.

If somebody asked why we didn't try being covered in the crazy man's poop...

In person I'd have probably already left, because that person let the crazy guy pelt him with shit for 15 minutes just to see what it was like. So now they smell like shit, and are advocating the validity of throwing shit as a means of communication.

See how that works?

Ad hominem again: the parent commenter only seems to argue in logical fallacies.
