Calling you dumb, otoh, is just an insult. I’ll admit I have a hard time believing anyone headed down this road is for real… but I guess it’s just a matter of how much you want to convince people that the insult is accurate.
You know I live just down the way from the ark park. If you’re ever in town and wanna get fleeced hit me up.
then maybe you should let the good people at merrier Webster or dictionary dot com know they screw up:
ad hominem
hŏm′ə-nĕm″, -nəm
adjective
- Attacking a person's character or motivations rather than a position or argument.
- Appealing to the emotions rather than to logic or reason.
- Of or relating to ad hominem.
