“An ad hominem (Latin for “to the man” or “to the person”[1]), short for argumentum ad hominem, means responding to arguments by attacking a person’s character, rather than to the content of their arguments.”

“Your Sharpton propaganda” WAS describing the content of your argument. If I had given in to the urge to call you a moron, than THAT would have been an ad hominem.

You’re welcome.

To: Tamzee; Laissez-faire capitalist

Thank you Tanzee, I was looking up ad hominem thinking that maybe a new definition had been invented.

I think all these attacks on Laissez-faire capitalist’s silly theory has confused her a bit and she’s firing at anything that moves.
