No....Saying "Your input doesn't matter because your vocation/race/religion/etc. obviously precludes you from having any sort of informed basis for it" is ad hom.

And you've somehow overlooked that saying

"Your input doesn't matter because your vocation/race/religion/etc. obviously precludes you from having any sort of informed basis for it"

Is eugenic for


"You're big fat idiot. Waste of time and ta ta"


No?
 
Nope. What I'm saying is that an out-of-hand dismissal of another person's opinion based solely on their vocation/race/religion/etc. is different from making a personal attack.

"You manage a Burger King, so you can't possibly know anything about this subject."
Is very different from, "You're a bitch."

In the "You're a bitch" scenario, the person's background, education and cognitive ability to make an informed statement are not in question. It is simply an insult.

Either way, neither type of attack, whether you define either or both as "ad hom" is appropriate within any debate.

WCF now you bring it up, do you ever get any funky PM regarding your name
 
Kunax,

I have been banned from forums because of this name. Thought about changing it many times, even did for a while but this name is sooooo me, I love my name :)
 
its a good unique name, with the added bonus of tickin somepeople off :)
 
I really hate it when someone says about himself or herself "I am definitely never going to /.../"
Or when they call someone "my /insert ethnical, religious and other such specification/ friend" (like "my black friend" or "my European friend"). :mad:
 
MUSLIM

it is coming out of my nose like snot during a cold.

It is getting fucking annoying that these self-centered people keep spewing their muslim propaganda on this forum. Who gives a shit about your religion! News flash - GOD IS DEAD.

The same is valid for our christian friends.
