How is calling a known and easily proved liar a LIAR, an ad hominem?

Why is it irrelevant?

Uhm, if you're here to start again, you'll note 1188 - mods on duty.

Maybe this will help you, and maybe not.

Example of Ad Hominem

  1. Bill: "I believe that abortion is morally wrong."
    Dave: "Of course you would say that, you're a priest."
    Bill: "What about the arguments I gave to support my position?"
    Dave: "Those don't count. Like I said, you're a priest, so you have to say that abortion is wrong. Further, you are just a lackey to the Pope, so I can't believe what you say."
