Oh my God, is there anything more obnoxious that reddit debate lords that have the Wikipedia list of logical fallacies open in another tab, but never bother to actually learn what they mean, so they just copy paste them like they're magical debate incantations that win arguments.

And no, "projection" is not a logical fallacy, you absolute dumb ass. Accusing people of it to dismiss their argument is though, you fucking idiot. Go back to Reddit, for fucks sake.

no, they are just insulting you
i recommend actually learning what the words you try to use mean before you try to use them

Yeah, but then they couldn't just mindlessly regurgitate them every time they're proven wrong.

No, an ad hominem is when you attack someones character as a way to dismiss your arguments: like when you tried to dismiss mine by bleating "projection".

I'm not calling you an insufferable reddit shitheal, who spurts copy pasted logical fallacies from Wikipedia because they think they're magic spells, to discredit your argument. I'm calling you that because that's what you are.
