Wikypeiday wrote:An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin: "argument to the person", "argument against the man") consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim. It is most commonly used to refer specifically to the ad hominem abusive, or argumentum ad personam, which consists of criticizing or personally attacking an argument's proponent in an attempt to discredit that argument.
Boy, do I know a few that meet that criteria. Just the other night I added another one to my list.Miriam C. wrote: <snip>
Basically if you don't like loosing an arguement---attack the other persons character.
Example=see all arguments on the forum. Course if you don't want the world to know you lost the argument just call names and get it pulled.

A member on the dutch oven site is from Australia...
He posted pics of a close encounter he had with a wombat.
Had a face to face stare down with it for several minutes before the wombat decided to go on it's merry way.
Says folks down there thought he was mad for getting so close to one, something about wombats being able to tear a chunck out of a human leg clear down to the bone...
Whadya think, is he mad???
