I'm waiting for an ad hominem attack on yours truly in response to my explanation of what is really going on when you see these fallacies just propogate and propogate as we have recently on this board.
The essence of irony.
The important point to keep in mind is that:
when the counter-party refuses to address the substantive issues presented, and responds with personal attacks (ad hominem means "against the person"
, this means that there is no logical counter to the substantive issues presented, and so the counter-party is reduced to belittling the person rather than logical countering their arguments.
And: The growing number of ad hominem attacks on this board indicates frustration, anxiety, ANGST, anger, perhaps worse .. on the part of the "longs".
Pathetic, IMHO
IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM THE MAHATMA:
Like clockwork!
Just pathetic!
