@nikhil25

please examine the wikipedia page properly. “abusive ad hominem” is the specific sub-category of “ad hominem” that is equivalent to “personal attack” as it pertains to this argument. an ad hominem is not necessarily insulting or fallacious. in any case, the personal reference i made was not employed in support of my argument so this is really not the appropriate terminology to be analyzing. i made an independent but related personal reference which was not an attack.

Why is only ‘absuive ad hominem’ equivalent to personal attack? If you are citing Wiki as reference, it redirects personal attack to ad hominem, not abusive ad hominem. Abuse is simply one form of ad hominem. I never claimed that the personal attack you made was abusive. You also mistake the word ‘attack’ for abuse. Attack is only attack in debating terms, where any strategy employed is termed an attack or defence. It need not be abusive at all.

1. calling me a “numbskull” is not nice.

2. coming out of character like this is disappointing…something i have not resorted to. next time pay closer attention to just how serious others are being before revealing your cards in this counterproductive manner.

Nice try! Im not buying for a second that you and several others werent serious.
