    moving goalposts and “i know you are but what am I?” is not much of an argument.

          Evidently, a lot of you people also lack reading comprehension to actually understand the content of my comment history.

                    Ad hominem

                    Ad hominem (Latin for ‘to the person’), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a term that refers to several types of arguments, most of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. This avoids genuine debate by creating a diversion to some irrelevant but often highly charged issue. The most common form of this fallacy is “A makes a claim x, B asserts that A holds a property that is unwelcome, and hence B concludes that argument x is wrong”.

          Nuh-uh is not my argument. My argument is that @BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml hasn’t actually addressed the content of the article linked, and keeps using personal attacks in lieu of having anything of actual substance to say.

            accusing people of doing what you’re doing isn’t going to get you anywhere. might get you some laughs, though.

                  I love how you’re only capable in communicating by regurgitating cliches. Even ChatGPT shows more creativity than that.
