"
Also accusing someone of being slow is a personal attack and that goes against the WIKI COC, so calm down take a chill pill and learned what I learned, personally attacking people only makes you feel better but it does little to prove arguments. "

"1) ...But whatever, I'm done with this discussion. You're an extremely arrogant and unpleasant person, to the point where talking to you is an act only a masochist might enjoy.
2) Nyccine, you are not going to get people to listen to your dissenting point of view by insulting them. This type of thing will turn off even those who agree with you. I agreed with some things you said, but am appalled by your condescending remarks towards those who do not share your view point.

Calling people "slow", "dense", "pants-on head retarded" as Zkyire points out is irrelevant and does not add anything to your argument. It is a non sequitur to say that you can engage in name-calling because their arguments are sufficiently bad. You have not stated what is wrong with their reasoning with the above words, you are simply dishing out an insult. That is a BAD form of argumentation formally called an ad homenin , which literally means "to the man"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

If your argument is strong enough, it should be able to stand on its own merits. Ironically,an ad hominem is typically deployed when an argument is weak and the person uses it as a last ditch effort. Of course, calling someone "stupid" in no way invalidates a statement such as "the moon orbits the Earth"; you have to address the substance of the argument itself, not the person. You can make your point without degenerating into name-calling; if it has validity, it can stand on its own
3) I think people stopped listening to this person along time again. Now it has just become a matter of writing something down, and seeing how angry nyccine gets at this point."

"Ahhh the US constitution.

Pity it only applies in America, eh? =P"

The Pirate Bay has been sold for $7.8 million. The new owners claim nothing will change on the site, but I'm hearing that starting in August, people will be required to pay to download.

I guess all good things must end. "

"Yup, sure did; it was required in my college as part of any degree program. You obviously haven't, or you weren't paying attention, because you're completely wrong. There is a three step process inherent to an ad hominem fallacy being committed:

1. Individual makes a claim
2. Opponent makes an attack on the claimant, irrelevent to the actual argument being made.
3. Opponent then claims that *because of attack in step 2*, therefore claimaint in step 1 is false.

You can't leave out that third step; if the crux of the argument *is* the attack, then you have a fallacy. If not, then you have a casual insult. Again, you might feel including derisory comments is inappropriate, but it is *not* fallacious; with my previous statements, you can mentally edit the insults out - or hell, I could repost them without the insults - and you would find that the arguments are *still there*; if it were an ad hominem, this would not be possible. Yes, Virginia, there is a difference between a casual insult and an ad hominem, and if you can't figure it out then you're an embarassment to your professor.

p.s. - I wasted all this time typing this, then decided to read the wiki link you provided, WHICH HAS THE SAME THING POSTED. Hilarious. Please re-read it; it's right there, in the Usage subsection, under "In Logic"."
