An ad hominem version that attacks the debater personally, labeling them as someone who only argues for the sake of conflict or "playing the game." It pathologizes the act of disagreement, painting the person as a compulsive "player" addicted to rhetorical combat rather than truth-seeking. This fallacy dismisses all their points by attacking their purported motivation for engaging at all.
Example: "Don't bother with him, he's not actually interested in solutions. He's a classic ping-pong player fallacy—he just likes the sound of his own voice and watching people react. Any reply you give is just another serve for him." This disqualifies the person from being heard by assigning them a malicious, sport-like intent.
