Reminds me of PJR. -- Nx / talk 08:41, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
The ad hom is the most common. You carefully explain why someone is wrong and you finish with "I hope you understand now, dumbass" and you get accused of an ad hom - completely ignoring everything you just said. Speaking of which could someone who understands the semantics better than me deTereista our Ad hominem article? - π 08:50, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I've seen people fall into that trap on ASK a lot. -- Nx / talk 09:02, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
