Papal Bull or SGT Bull? Maybe a little of both? (a lesson in Latin)
"Ad hominem" attacks
I watched a YOU TUBE video by SGTbull07 today and learned about the impressive Latin term "ad hominem". Read this LINK here about the term "ad hominem" and how it is used by SGTbull07: http://plover.net/~bonds/adhominem.html
Notice SGTbull07 finds his situation here as "flattering and entertaining". If it's both entertaining and flattering to him why is he so upset?
Here's usually why the term "ad hominem" is used to impress the listeners:
"Actual instances of argumentum ad hominem are relatively rare. Ironically, the fallacy is most often committed by those who accuse their opponents of ad hominem, since they try to dismiss the opposition not by engaging with their arguments, but by claiming that they resort to personal attacks. Those who are quick to squeal "ad hominem" are often guilty of several other logical fallacies, including one of the worst of all: the fallacious belief that introducing an impressive-sounding Latin term somehow gives one the decisive edge in an argument."

Not bad for an accused "intellectually dishonest nut" eh?
Do you learn this kind of stuff at the Sons of Liberty Academy?
