Ad hominem (Latin for “to the man” or “to the person”), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

I truly pity you.

You don’t make any “arguments” and you don’t have any “substance” (or intelligence). Therefore, everything with you is going to end up ad hominem in both directions.

Save your pity for someone who thinks it is worth something.
