Ad hominem? I don't know if you know this, though you probably don't, but 'ad hominem' is a category of logical fallacy, committed when one argues that one's opponent's argument is wrong because he is, por ejemplo, an asshole or a pedophile or a loser or a dildo. At no point have I argued that your position is logically incorrect because you are an asshole. I've only ever argued that you are incorrect because your logic is dumb.
Move along.

It’s being dismissive of the argument because of something you believe to be inherent in me, rather than the subject of the argument. I think you should learn the usage of terms rather run than me, lol.
