I hate how when a moron is being a moron so you call them a moron they go "OMG AD HOMINEM ATTACK LOGICAL FALLACY OLOLOLOL WEEWOOWEEWOOWEEWOO".
An ad hominem attack is -->NOT AN INSULT<--.
An ad hominem attack is when you point out something about a person's character that is irrelevant to the discussion in order to discredit their argument.
If someone says, "the world is flat", and I say, "no it isn't, we have photos of it, you moron, it's clearly round".
Is that an ad hominem? No! Because calling him a moron wasn't my argument, my argument was that we have photos of it.
If someone says, "I think socialism makes sense", and I say, "you're just a child, you don't know things".
Is that an ad hominem attack? Yes! Because him being a child is irrelevant to his actual argument. |
