The fallacy of attacking the character or circumstances of an individual who is advancing a statement or an argument instead of trying to disprove the truth of the statement or the soundness of the argument. Often the argument is characterized simply as a personal attack.
1. The personal attack is also often termed an "ad personem argument": the statement or argument at issue is dropped from consideration or is ignored, and the locutor's character or circumstances are used to influence opinion.
2. The fallacy draws its appeal from the technique of "getting personal." The assumption is that what the locutor is saying is entirely or partially dictated by his character or special circumstances and so should be disregarded.
I wasn’t trying to make an argument, Oh-Clueless-One. I was making fun of xcamel’s ad hominem attack against my source. As with so many other evo-atheists, you are very slow on the uptake.
PS Did you send a similar message to xcamel? Didn’t think so. As with so many other evo-atheists, you are a hypocrite as well. Keep up the good work...LOL!
