You're an idiot, therefore, your arguments must be nonsense. <-- That is an ad hom
Do not listen to him, Rhythm. He said something stupid on every page of this thread. <--- Ad hom
Essentially, saying that something you say is not valid because of some slight you committed or some personality flaw is an ad hom. Didn't we have another vocab lesson somewhere else in this thread? Listen, it is in your best interest and in that of this atrophied thread, that you simply answer arguments, stick to the topic and refrain from posts that add nothing to the topic, save your judgment of the poster.
The statement was expressed in a sarcastic manner insinuating that I was depressed, which by your definition of the word would indicate irrational thinking, correct? The question was a red herring to a sub-culture outside the social norms and the word emo has a negative connotation which puts forth a stereotype. But lets not argue over semantics to an irrelevant question.
I'll answer the question then.
No, I am not an emo. How can I prove this? You'll have to refute my argument.
Whatever though...
