I love it when Lem "embarrasses" herself with actual evidence. :lol:

Maybe you can help Lem. Which of the quotes they posted is an example of an ad hominem?

Comical. Nit picking the uttermost literal definition of a phrase, whereas of course “revelation” or “prophecy” or “translation” can be bent ad infinitum to defend a position.

As Lem properly identified, one just one:

is ad hominem as it is a personal insult in place of a response to the content of an argument or position.

IHAQ makes a post. Sledge responds with a judgment that IHAQ makes low quality threads, implying IHAQ’s ideas are not worth addressing because low quality threads are, well, low quality.

But who cares, except that a certain someone likes to make condescending comments in place of logical arguments, and then tantrum when called out for the fallacious behavior.

Plenty of us make logical errors. Which is why this board can be so colorful. But tantrum over the mirror being held up? Sheesh. Grow up.

Definition of Ad Hominem
Ad hominem is a Latin word that means “against the man.” As the name suggests, it is a literary term that involves commenting on or against an opponent, to undermine him instead of his arguments.

So you believe that commenting on the quality of threads that someone creates is the same as ad hominem?

You’re wrong.

You mocked the person in every one of them, so that looks to me like 100% I saw no dealing with the actual substance of the posts. You appear more interested in poisoning the well against the person instead of what is typed. Erm..... ad hominem...

No. I commented on their content every time.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.
