Here's a summary of the term "Ad Hominem": Argumentum ad hominem (from the Latin, "to the person") is an informal logical fallacy that occurs when someone attempts to refute an argument by attacking the source making it rather than the argument itself. The fallacy is a subset of the genetic fallacy as it attacks the source of the argument, which is irrelevant to to the truth or falsity of the argument. An ad hominem should not be confused with an insult, which attacks the person but does not…
