- throwway120385 3y agoAn Ad Hominem argument would be pointing out that she's a woman and using that to argue that we shouldn't listen to her. If someone points out that it's in character for the author to deny global warming, and we're seeing her write an article about how global warming isn't that big of a deal, it's valid to criticize it because of her past behavior.
