      i object to your characterization, and it does nothing to either bolster your own claim nor undercut my own. it’s a simple ad hominem.

        On second thought youre probably really young in which case I want to apologise. You’re right that I neither argued for the claim in the link nor against your claim, I don’t care about either of them since their irrelevant to the main point. Word of advice though, these kind of “fallacy debates” about irrelevant details are not productive I have never witnessed someone being swayed by it. Find something you actually care about then argue about that. Argue why you care for it, people are much more convinced by emotion than some stylized formal argument.

          another attack on identity. try to stay with the topic at hand. who i am has no bearing on the truth of my statements or yours.

            Another debate term. I’m not arguing with you. I don’t care about the truth value of that statement since it’s irrelevant to the point that I wanted to make. Please stop seeing every conversation through the lense of which fallacy can be applied. Not everything is a debate.

            You’ll see it’s a much more freeing and fun way to interact with people, I promise.

              if you don’t care about whether what i said is true, and alli did was state a fact, then why are you responding at all? it seems to me you very much want to discourage me from keeping the discussion truthful, and i speculate it is because the facts damage your own position.
