ad hominem argument

Filed under: RaNTs@eARTH, unEarthly tERms — cafm @ 5:33 pm April 19, 2007

An informal fallacy in which one arguer uses a logically irrelevant "attack" on another arguer as a reason to disregard the second arguer’s argument. It is a fallacy of relevance. there are three types, Abusive, circumstantial and tu quoque.

Something that has been done to me plenty of times and unknowingly done many times too :P

Added this logic book to my todo….let me see when this happens :P
