oooo look at you, i am so jealous that you "know how to think" and I don't.

But tell me, how is an ad hominem argument actually showing you know how to think?

I could look around for more examples, and there is plenty around, but not really with time to dig through them, so... be my guest if you want to do it.

But sure, keep your way of screaming like a kid "hey mom, he called my toy ugly! i will call him ugly back!" and let's see where this will end up...

    You just shown you dont know how to think by making the absurd argument you made. Thats not an ad hominem attack.

      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.
