Just curious - why did you say you already knew?
I couldn't think of a better place to put the post. Reddit needs this explanation of ad hominem permanently stickied at the top of r/all. Preferably not via this post though.
Yeah it's an interesting post - my understanding of ad hominem wasn't quite right. I believe you would have had a better chance if you would have left the last part of the title out. Either way, thanks for sharing. I learned something.
Well, to tell the truth I was kind of venting. Feel free to repost without the addenda.
Oh that makes sense. People throwing it around incorrectly?
Right?! Of course all online information platforms need all of the logical fallacies pinned to their front pages.
So “ad hominem fallacy” is just another way to say, “consider the source?”
Edit: word usage
You have no authority 🤣
This is absolutely fantastic! Thanks!
