Donald Annoying Orange Announces His Run for Presidency

[$trinick]

Every time I see somebody bring up fallacies in another person's argument I visibly cringe

You don't know what ad hominem even means

I use them right :(

Actually, his statement wasn't even an argument at all. He just made a claim without supporting it. You can infer the reasoning "because it is poorly formed" but then that's an example of begging the question because why is it poorly formed?

Heh.. nice straw slope, chump

Ad hominem is attacking the person and not the argument. He stopped responding to the argument and started calling me stupid. That's almost to the letter the definition and proper usages of ad hominem...

Hah, nice strawman, internet cyber punk. I'll have you know I have studied yourlogicalfallacyis.com for years, so I know all there is to know about all the logical fallacies that wanna-be-smarties like you will say. I eat punks like you for breakfast.

Ad hominem isn't just an insult, it's a personal attack meant to invalidate an argument. Well, the most commonly used form of ad hominem is.

I don't have to listen to you because you are a (    ) <- Ad Hominem
You are (   ) <- Insult. There is a difference.

God loving forbid I try to defend myself at any point tonight. And no, Ike, there are many forms of ad hominem and what he did was one of them.

What you have committed is a "Fallacy fallacy"

good job wumpus

listen, he didnt even make an argument against what you* said he just said you're stupid; that's nothing more than an insult. there is no "argument" to be invalidated by a fallacy because there wasn't one in the first place.

What you have committed is a "Fallacy fallacy"

this is also partially true. just because someone used an ad hominem doesn't mean that their entire argument is false, it just means that that's not a valid way of dismissing what you're sayin. though he never directly said that's what he's doing so idk.

[Kaz]

No, Ike is just showcasing his inability to grow up. I didn't say that his argument was invalid because he committed a fallacy, just that he had committed one. Once again and in yet another topic, I'm done with this stuff because someone wants to act like a child instead of having an actual discussion.

Always desperate to have the last word.

[Narkro555]

I think you guys should take it to drama. This topic is about an egotist running for president, not a debate on logical fallacies.

I'm sorry I interrupted your stuff slinging match with zombi. Please, by all means, continue....

Actually, he directly attacked the argument, not you. He said the argument was stupid.

[Kochieboy]

Haha, logical fallacies, you sure got him there. :^)

And the first lines of that page talk about saying an argument is stupid. What's your point? I understand what you're saying but I'm not bothered enough to edit my comment.

Golly gee someone point out one of the many facets of debate. Better jump their ass for it.
