Ad hominem
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.
