Name-calling isn't ad hom.
Poster didn't say "they are con artists", they said "they are doing this and this, because they are con artists".
Your response was tu quoque mixed with ad hom: "oh yeah? Well the other guy is a bad person!"
- CamperBob2 6y agoThere is such a thing as moral authority, you know. Look around you. Does it look like you're sitting in a philosophy classroom? (If it does, take the opportunity to freshen up on your Kierkegaard.)
- Wolfenstein98k 6y agoI'm simply pointing out your argument was cognitive dissonance and completely ineffective. I'm sure you could engage with it directly and without fallacy, you're obviously bright, but your replies were very low-brow ad hominem and tu quoque. PS I don't invest "moral authority" in almost any leading politician today, though I certainly rank Biden higher than Trump in the "personal morality" stakes.
