Ad hominem

Whilst in an arguement, to avoid the point (thus a cop-out) and to insult the person arguing. Often because the person who results to the insults has no logical/intelligent point, thus they break down to immaturity.

Jon: I've made my point five times and all you've done is call me 'gay', way to resort to ad hominem, dude.

When one posts a definition that may be offensive to a specific audience based on nationality, race, gender etc., and then all the posting individual's definitions receive the same amount of dislikes.

Idiots who do Urban Dictionary ad hominem often times do not have sufficient imagination, vocabulary, or sense of humor to post a response.

After posting the definition belgian shower, my other definitions immediately received the same amount of dislikes. Should have known them Belgians would do Urban Dictionary ad hominem.

Argument ad Hominem

A logical fallacy where someone claims that the argument or position of someone else is invalid not due to any faults in it but based off of faults, real or imagined, of the other person.
This argument does not make the claim it is used in valid, but also does not render it wholly invalid provided that valid arguments may be found in other parts of the claim.

Examples of Argument ad Hominem:

1. Your presidential candidate has been shown to have been cheating on her wife, how the hell can you trust her to manage labor issues?
2. He's not a valid candidate, just look at how he dresses! If he can't mage his wardrobe, how's he going to manage a whole state?
