Sigh.... Ad hominem is NOT the same as name calling. You can do any
combination of both, neither, one or the other.
AD HOMINEM and NAME CALLING:
- You are ignorant.
- Therefore, I can't trust your definitions.
- Therefore, your definition of ad hominem is wrong.
AD HOMINEM and NO NAME CALLING:
- You have provided inaccurate definitions before.
- Therefore, I can't trust your definitions.
- Therefore, your definition of ad hominem is wrong.
NO AD HOMINEM and NAME CALLING:
- Your definition of ad hominem is wrong.
- Therefore, I can't trust your definitions.
- Therefore you are ignorant.
NO AD HOMINEM and NO NAME CALLING:
- Your definition of ad hominem is wrong.
- Therefore, you have provided inaccurate definitions.
- Therefore, I can't trust your definitions.
