MODERATORS
An ad hominem isn't just an attack on the other person's character, that's just an insult. An ad hominem is when you tie the quality of an argument to the character of the person making it.
"You are an asshat, therefore your argument is wrong" is an ad hominem.
"You are an asshat" is an attack of the writers characteristics/authority/insult/name-calling/funny/cool/good.
People keep crying "AD HOMINEM" when they get insulted and it's just the most obvious tell that they're fucking stupid and don't know what they're talking about.
