*shrugs* Happily:

Quote:Ad Hominem (Abusive)

argumentum ad hominem

(also known as:  personal abuse, personal attacks, abusive fallacy, damning the source, name calling, refutation by caricature, against the person, against the man)


Description: Attacking the person making the argument, rather than the argument itself, when the attack on the person is completely irrelevant to the argument the person is making.


Logical Form:
Person 1 is claiming Y.
Person 1 is a moron.
Therefore, Y is not true.

Example #1:
My opponent suggests that lowering taxes will be a good idea -- this is coming from a woman who eats a pint of Ben and Jerry’s each night!

Point to where I did that. Post number, quote, and explanation using the logical form seen in the example. Please, and thank you.

Now you're channeling Drich. I replied every time you attacked me. If you want to play obtuse that's fine.

RE: I thought your god was keeping you safe
You made a claim. I’m asking you to back it up. But if you’d rather, I’ll do your work for you; it’s no trouble at all:

(April 18, 2019 at 2:19 pm)LadyForCamus Wrote: How was that an attack? I'm quoting from your own post in which you verbatim described using the N-word as a privilege. Maybe...just maybe it's about African Americans re-claiming some modicum of control after having almost none at all for hundreds of years. Maybe "privilege" is a gross mischaracterization no matter who is saying it. Maybe the subject is a little more nuanced than, "How come they can say it but we can't? Wah!"

" I had no idea you were so envious that it's off limits to you." So that wasn't an attack? WTF was it then?

What it was, was an assumption of your personal position on the subject based on your own quoted words. If you’re desperate to find a fallacy here, I suppose you could charge me with a strawman. However, I was careful to revise that mistake in my following response via asking you to clarify your thoughts  and correct me if I was wrong. Bold mine:

Quote:When you describe using that word as a privilege you feel you don't have, what else am I supposed to infer other than you think that isn't fair? That you're missing out on something someone else has the privilege of getting to do?  Is that not how you feel?

You took no such opportunity to clarify. Instead, you just complained about ad hominem attacks that never actually occurred.

Puerile of me to demonstrate that your ad hominem accusation is incorrect after you asked me to do just that? Apology accepted and your welcome, lol.

I'm sure that has some significance to someone.

Yep. So you can recognize them, but only other people's. Are you so self-centered that you can't see, or worse won't admit, when you've done the same?
