Did You Know?

Ad hominem literally means "to the person" in New Latin (Latin as first used in post-medieval texts). In centuries past, this adjective usually modified "argument." An "argument ad hominem" (or "argumentum ad hominem," to use the full New Latin phrase)
was a valid method of persuasion by which a person took advantage of his or her opponent's interests or feelings in a debate, instead of just sticking to general principles.
The newer sense of "ad hominem," which suggests an attack on an opponent's character instead of his or her argument, appeared only in the last century, but it is the sense more often heard today.
The word still refers to putting personal issues above other matters, but perhaps because of its old association with "argument," "ad hominem" has become, in effect, "against the person."

mmmmm


I'm not responsible for your ignorance. Words mean things. Just because whole groups of people are ignorant doesn't mean that my correct and proper understanding of the term is even remotely comparable to your shit understanding of the term.

Look at you to try throwing around terms in a vain attempt to sound intellectually relevant, when in fact you show off, post after post, how monumentally intellectually irrelevant you are.

I'm offering to do an experiment and he can't even tell me what to expect under his model.

Flattards don't even know their own models.

Word mean things? Wow, I'm really impressed that your vacuum of intellectual integrity managed to figure that one out, what a genius you are. What does it mean when you need to use the same phrase twice in a sentence, as you did "intellectual relevant" - obvious it's a double negative and a freudian reference that denotes your true feelings. Epic fail in spin doctoring exposed by your doublespeak. So ty. :thumbsup:

Freud has been largely discredited in almost every regard, you can't handle when people destroy your "argument/evidence" so you lash out by attacking them with insults.

This is the behavior of children. :rolleyes:

So you're calling Santara a child who can't handle it when his arguments got destroyed, cool we agee!

His method of debate seems to be throw out insults, scare anyone who doesn't off who doesn't accept them and if they throw any back cry to mods about how you were treated so unfairly.


And yes, some people dont like Freud, glad to see you're with the quacks. Einstein has been destroyed, such a last century theory, stop grasping at straws please.

A few things:

He said nothing of the sort.

You're not capable of, nor have you ever demonstrated, any such destruction of my arguments.

Not once have I contacted the mod team about this thread, or any flat Earth thread. Why would I want to? They provide me with a great deal of amusement. /e as a matter of fact, I have even reminded the people posting the "lock" emojis that the science subforum is indeed the legitimate subforum for discussing such tripe, and I refuse to engage in it.



Words (and in the case of my previous post, terms) do mean things, including an argumentum ad hominem. In the structure of debate, it is very much an attempt to discredit the arguments presented by an opponent as a way of dismissing their arguments. When I insult flat Earth theory, I am not making an argument, I am making an insult. Because it is deserved. I'm perfectly happy addressing any relevant points you wish to make, and destructing them to the point of being absurd. But that doesn't mean my being insulting along the way is an attempt to discredit your arguments. I can do that using perfectly valid logical arguments. You however? Not so much.
