Ad hominem (Latin for ‘to the person’), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a term that refers to several types of arguments, most of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. This avoids genuine debate by creating a diversion to some irrelevant but often highly charged issue. The most common form of this fallacy is “A makes a claim x, B asserts that A holds a property that is unwelcome, and hence B concludes that argument x is wrong”.
The fact that you linked the description of ad hominem here just further underscores my point. Ad hominem would be me making a personal insult as a way to discredit your argument. Being made fun of is not ad hominem. In all seriousness though, there’s nothing funny about having poor reading comprehension skills. Perhaps spend some time working on that instead of trolling here.
You’re right it wouldn’t be if I actually did did either of those things. 😂
you know that people can see your comment history, right?
Evidently, a lot of you people also lack reading comprehension to actually understand the content of my comment history.
ah, so your inability to make a sound argument is everyone else’s fault?
Way to put words in my mouth.
those words are here for everyone to see.
But evidently not everyone has basic reading comprehension to read them as you so helpfully demonstrate.
