Hey, you! Yes, you! Are you tired of seeing posts you disagree with on the internet but have no real way to argue against? Do you have a hate on for the OP and think that no one should listen to them? Do you want to let all your internet buddies know you’re still performing to the social standard of shunning The Other?
Ad Hominem Might Be For You!
Discredit that nasty OP based on irrelevant details!
Let everyone know where you stand on their icky preferences that have nothing to do with the argument at hand!
Convince other people not to listen to logical arguments!
Force the OP to defend themselves and correct the record, rather than engage in honest debate!
And much, much, more!
Warning! Side effects may include: The delusion that logical fallacies are cogent arguments. Dependence on other logical fallacies like black and white thinking, goal post shifting, and post hoc ergo propter hoc. Looking like an idiot to people who know better. Making your high school rhetoric teachers cry. And contributing the the disintegration of polite and intelligent conversation on and off the internet.
If you want to make your friends think you’re winning an argument without actually doing any work to make a point, Ad Hominem is for you!
