You learn something every day. Please don't accuse me of engaging in ad hominem ever again unless I actually do it (which I won't).
ad hominem: (of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.

How many new, low quality threads to you start per day, IHOP?

I love IHAQ, they have amazing strawberry-banana French toast.

But they create clickbait threads that have no real substance.

Can you point out where president Nelson put a timeline on his prediction?

Or is this just another of your low-quality threads?
Where did I personally insult someone instead of addressing the content of their posts? Saying that the content of someone's threads is low quality is addressing content, not person. Do you understand the difference?

Lem, while I don't quite understand your desire to follow me around, I do appreciate people pointing out times that I may have misstepped. If you don't have an actual example of ad hominem, please stop accusing me of engaging in such. If you do have one, please post it. Your examples so far are not ad hominem.

Let me help you out some more:
David Packman has a great video on ad hominem, part of his "critical thinking" series. Check it out

I know, right? I’m surprised at his self-control that thus far we haven’t seen ‘and/or’, ‘black and white thinking’, and //////////.

Frustrating .

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.

So no examples then? Of course not, because I don’t do ad hominem. Please stop accusing me of it. Thank you in advance.

Indeed. And add in the classic tactic of asking for examples after examples have been given-- they just give themselves away.

Yeah, like totally. When someone ask for examples of turtles you give them zebras and declare victory! Great plan!

Now, do you have any—just one will do—examples of me engaging in ad hominem?
