</span><p dir="ltr">From Wikipedia:<br>
An <b><i>ad hominem</i></b> (<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin" target="_blank">Latin</a> for "to the man" or "to the person"<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem#cite_note-1" target="_blank"><sup>[1]</sup></a>), short for <b><i>argumentum ad hominem</i></b>, means responding to arguments by attacking a person's character, rather than addressing the content of their arguments.<br></p>
<p dir="ltr">This is exactly what Jorge did because instead of addressing the matter at hand he made attacks against my character not addressing the content of the argument.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Mind you if you look to the list everyone was upset so no of course he not discuss that content but launched into ad hominem.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I even politely sent him a private email and his response there was very rude too. </p>
</blockquote></div>"Ad hominem" is a bit more nuanced than that. See <a href="https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/ad-hominem">https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/ad-hominem</a> and the listed example.</div><div class="gmail_extra">The reference to you is about the frequent ragequits. Do you consider that as ad hominen? It is not.</div><div class="gmail_extra">An ad hominem would be if he said you are the guy that puts ice cubes in the beer.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Simos</div></div>
