        Nuh-uh is not my argument. My argument is that @BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml hasn’t actually addressed the content of the article linked, and keeps using personal attacks in lieu of having anything of actual substance to say.

          accusing people of doing what you’re doing isn’t going to get you anywhere. might get you some laughs, though.

                I love how you’re only capable in communicating by regurgitating cliches. Even ChatGPT shows more creativity than that.

                  Ad hominem

                  Ad hominem (Latin for ‘to the person’), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a term that refers to several types of arguments, most of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. This avoids genuine debate by creating a diversion to some irrelevant but often highly charged issue. The most common form of this fallacy is “A makes a claim x, B asserts that A holds a property that is unwelcome, and hence B concludes that argument x is wrong”.

                    I urge you to read the description of ad hominem that you linked until you’ve actually understood it. In particular, try to comprehend what this says:

                    Ad hominem would be you making some argument and me attacking your character instead of addressing a point you made. You’ve made no actual point and just used personal attacks, now you’ve found a latin term that sounds clever to you.

        Evidently, a lot of you people also lack reading comprehension to actually understand the content of my comment history.

                    The fact that you linked the description of ad hominem here just further underscores my point. Ad hominem would be me making a personal insult as a way to discredit your argument. Being made fun of is not ad hominem. In all seriousness though, there’s nothing funny about having poor reading comprehension skills. Perhaps spend some time working on that instead of trolling here.
