Your little infographic is incorrect. Bringing someone's appearance into a debate is absolutely ad hominem. Trump has no real ideas. He literally smirks and says 'wow, more energy tonight, Jeb'.

^That's ad hom.

You're a dumbass, because you don't understand what ad hom is. Ad hom is devaluing the argument by using the character of the party presenting it as the reason for the argument being wrong. An insult, especially one derived by how you act, that is just tacked on, but not used as a reason for your argument being wrong is just an insult, dummy.

^That's an argument with insults, yet no ad hom.

ad hom fallacy is a type of fallacy

ad hom without fallacy is just a personal attack, synon. with insult

Ad hominem is an attack in lieu of an argument. An insult is not by default ad hominem. You can be both wrong AND an asshole, which is frequently the case with his opposition.

>You are the only retard here that is claiming that ad homs are just insults.

never said that
they can be, or they can be fallacious
depends on if they are... fallacious

this is not quantum physics

>..is a logical fallacy..."

not arguing otherwise
the fallacy is the fallacy

when it is not, it is "to the man", without the fallacy

this is so mundane i cant believe you still feign ignorance:
when you subtract the FALLACY part, then its not a fallacy!

>but original coiners of the term probably/didnt intend or think of that

or

>most people books dont include that

"to the man" is the personal attack part of it
by its meaning alone without the "fallacy" part this makes it congruent with "insult"/"personal attack"

yes true, ad hominem fallacy is the fallacy, its often ambiguously left out (the word fallacy, left out, just implied), as ive stated

but when purposely and explicitly stated without "fallacy" is necessarily no more or less than synonymous with insult/personal attack by virtue of the simple meaning of the original latin

argumentum ad hominem
ad hominem
each word and possible phrase has its own meaning
im not disputing what the 1st, as we call "ad hom fallacy" that is incontrovertible

just that ad hom (alone, nothing more implied or meant) "to the man" == insult/personal attack

depending on its usage as described here:

It doesn't take an argument to insult someone you stupid syrup suckling asian fuckface
>>
>>73511667
Ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"[1]), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a logical fallacy in which an argument is rebutted by attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.[2]

Ad hominem reasoning is not always fallacious, for example, when it relates to the credibility of statements of fact or when used in certain kinds of moral and practical reasoning.[3]

Fallacious ad hominem reasoning is normally categorized as an informal fallacy,[4][5][6] more precisely as a genetic fallacy, a subcategory of fallacies of irrelevance.

Literally the first three paragraphs.

"short for"
yes, often but not necessarily
thats all

we've been over this several times

just because that is the phrase you know in a language foreign to you, like a foreigner knowing "fuck you" or "where is airport" does not mean the words cannot be used alone, does not ironclad the phrase as being immutable (unchangeable)

"argumentum ad hom"
is unambiguous
"ad hom"
alone CAN be, but not always, when simply referring to the former
as it is in latin, and not just as a loan phrase

How do you debunk the not renting to blacks thing in the 80s? Or the saying he only wants Jews counting his money?

I mean obviously here we know niggers are awful tenants, but it's a little harder to get that point across without being racist. The Jews thing I usually dismiss as an off-handed joke based in truth.

Everything else though is easy to debunk because most people come with the Mexican and Islam thing.

He's stupid for rejecting the definition of 'ad hominem'. You're stupid for rejecting the definition of 'backhanded'. You're both stupid for not being able to comprehend the conversations in this thread.

3 letter phrase
argumentum ad hominem
or ad hom fallacy
both are synonymous

remove argumentum/fallacy and you have new phrase that is

INCIDENTALLY ALSO THE ABBREVIATION, but separate meaning if used stand alone (i.e. NOT an abbreviation)

your position is: these words cannot mean something alone because they cannot be used outside of that phrase\abbreviation

They tried to get him on discrimination charges but couldn't. Then he settled (which was not an admission of guilt) to get the whole thing behind him. Besides, there is no direct tie of Trump discriminating against blacks, even if a company he owned did have some responsibility, which they never found them guilty of.

retard. ad hominem, on its own, with our without 'fallacy' or 'argumentative', still maintains its definition. If you're speaking latin, it literally translate to 'to another person'. You are talking out of your ass. We ALL understand what you're trying to say, it's just that it's retarded.

no it doesnt
because you must maintain your chosen narrative for this thread
that it is synonymous with insult or personal attack is incidental

you can believe what you want, but words of a phrase can be used otherwise, and when you rearrange or add/subtract words, and arent creating an abbreviation, the phrase does not remain congruent

>>73518055
ITS NOT AN ABBREVIATION. IT JUST DOESNT MEAN WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS.

It IS NOT AN 'INSULT FALLACY' YOU FUCKING TARD
>>
>>73518246

ad hom (always necessarily meaning "ad hominem)
CAN BE an abbreviation for
*argumentum ad hominem
*ad hominem fallacy
which are both congruent
by virtue of being incidentally also an abbreviation does not nullify these words or this phrase in any way

you maintain it does not, because that is your chosen position, not because that is where logic leads you, but because its coincidentally not included in texts.

Protip:
these words have standing and mean far far outside of this phrase and even each alone.

that the words lose no meaning from constituting this abb. you seem to think is a matter of petty pride for me in this argument, when it is just where logic leads.

again:
sub phrase, sub meaning

ad hom CAN BE an abb., or not

>NO ITS ONLY THE ABB.

no
