Not to be outdone by WaPo last Sunday, WSJ today.:

"Climate Change Obsession Is a Real Mental Disorder:
Alarmist stories about the weather, not the warm air itself, are behind the left’s anxiety and dread."

Lambert posted this at NC with the comment, "If you can’t win an argument on the merits, go ad hom."

No link, no screenshot, because why.

Absolutists don't have an answer. Sociologists aren't debunking Economists because they don't have answers.

It amazes me how easily people alternate between criticizing and praising others for resorting to #AdHominem, or criticizing exposure but then praising an #infringer for granting free advertising, all based on whether you like the victim of the insult or infringement. #hypocrite

#MarineMammals everywhere take great offense.

Plenty to critique abt TFG wo stooping to #adhominem, no matter how tempting.

That's *their* brand.

@siderea @JoshuaHolland I have absolutely no problem with Dem criticism. I openly said Dems have problems. The problem I have with your post & I was very clear about it, is the part where you said voting for the GOP or for the Dems was the same thing, to subtly encouraged non-voting. If you want to attack me to deflect from what you said that’s your prerogative. But don’t expect it to work. Nor will deliberately miss characterizing what I said. #farL #AdHominem

Ad hominem:

How do we tell the difference between a politically motivated investigation of criminal activity and an investigation of criminal activity that is not politically motivated. What signs should we look for? #RedHerring #CognitiveBias #AdHominem

a brief video response to the incompetence of #conservatives and #rightwing #Republicans at coming up with factual counterarguments, so they attempt to derail with #adHominem instead.

@mybarkingdogs

Offering an #adHominem about the writer rather than regarding the message is a classic diversion tactic usually aimed at diminishing the message. 🎯

Even if your concern is wholly genuine, you can easily find overlapping current and #historical #MassMedia #news #criticism from a variety of #liberal, #independent, and #conservative writers dating back to #WorldWar1 at least.

#AdHominem isn't always a fallacy. For example, if someone's citing James Lamore to support a take on the apparent sentience of a large language model, it's valid to point out that James Lamore is an idiot,

Was der Kritik an #Kubicki an Sachlichkeit fehlt, machen die Kritiker mit #AdHominem weg.

Sorry aber solche Kritiker kann man nicht ernst nehmen.

@HasnainKazim Ich fordere hiermit ultimativ und abschließend, dass alle Menschen, die jemals ein Flugzeug genutzt haben, ein Auto besessen oder genutzt, oder Fleisch gegessen haben, oder sonst in irgendeiner Art vom Pfad individueller moralischer Unangreifbarkeit abgewichen sind, vom politischen Diskurs ausgeschlossen werden.
Insbesondere soll es gefälligst niemand von diesen Halunken mehr an Demonstrationen oder Protesten teilnehmen dürfen, selbst wenn die dort vorgebrachten Forderungen wissenschaftlich begründet und mehrheitsfähig sind.
Politisch sprechen darf nur noch, wer in seinem eigenen Handeln absolut unangreifbar ist!!1!eins!!elf!!

Warum nur?

@zbecker @Lowie @mastodonusercount I'm often quite willing to have a #PoliticalConversation *without* #AdHominem / *with* honest , informed , logical , #patriotic participants 🇺🇸

My take on #LogicalFallacies:

Sometimes an #AdHominem is entirely appropriate.

Especially when used against the people whose only tactic in a debate is to point out your logical fallacies.

Fuck those #Edgelord #Incel assholes.
