Example;

Poster A: I think those that kneel during the anthem are disrespecting the flag, even if it id not their intention.

Poster B: That's because you're a racist

Poster c: I disagree, Kapernick actually approached a former service member to get advice on how not to disrespect

Poster D: Yeah, no need to kneel, we all know police never violate the rights of black folks.

One of the 3 responses was disagreement, one was condescension, and one was ad hominem. 

Can you identify which was which? 

All three are "disagreement." I guess you are looking for disagreement WITHOUT ad hominem and condescension. 

B would qualify as both ad hominem and condescension, wouldn't it?  That type is already banned, and certainly the worst kind of ad hominem, but it is not frequently met with here. 

I hope that D-type statements aren't held forth as an example of condescension ("belittling") worthy of warning and suspension. Most everyone uses sarcasm at one time or another. Bfine included.  Honestly, if someone said that to me, I would not assume the speaker was condescending.

This is clear cut condescension.

Poster E: Yeah, no need to kneel; because we wouldn't expect someone with your literacy level to know police violate the rights of black folks.
