personal attack

a logical fallacy that demeans your opponent instead of refuting their argument.

"You shouldn't vote for Bill for student-body president because he got some random chick pregnant. What would he know what's good for the school?"

The person made a personal attack on Bill in order to give him a bad image so that he/she has a better chance at winning.

Personal attack

What!? You are (in my not so humble opinion) committing the most egregious personal attack on a person’s psyche one can commit.

Hym “I don’t know what you are confused about here! What recourse have you left me here? None. And how does that not constitute a form a personal attack? What, in your head, makes you think we are not on good terms after you started doing this? For the exact reasons you claimed that what they were doing to the other guy is damaging. It’s like a 1 to 1. What you’re doing (On the other hand) is not a 1 to 1 and constitutes ‘piling on.’ And even saying that is just so manipulative it’s unbelievable!”

a personal attack 

When someone mentions a niche topic another person has a large interest or knowledge in and proceeds to completely butcher the summary of it.

"He totally skimmed over the whole premise of the show, and seeing that, right there — that was a personal attack."

Personal attacks 

That personal attacks aren't what made shit-dick have a mental breakdown.

Hym "The personal attacks are almost always in addition to actual criticism of your positions and/or debate tactics. So, no. That isn't reality. And you're literally pretending to be a guy to get women. You can't cite THE GUY YOU'RE PRETENDING TO BE'S lack of relationships when you are pretending to be the guy to get relationships! No, really. You're either a JP sycophant or a molestee. You weren't relevant after the Jesse Lee Peterson debate. You were fading into obscurity. Jordan Peterson (Or his wife, it's more likely his wife) contacted everyone who was associated with my work here on Urban Dictionary

. And now you're acting out this pathetic, manufactured solidarity... Against a guy who ISN'T WRONG... So the audience can learn a lesson about what happens if people are trying to manufacture schizophrenia and, instead of murdering their kids, you do something other than murder kids? And that's your plan? Don't react to a targeted stalking harassment campaign by threatening kids... Or we'll MAKE YOU murder our kids? I mean, it's what I would expect from your kind but still... What's the lesson here? If you're being cyber-stalked and harassed... Just take the misdiagnosis be stalked and harassed because people need to protect their kids from the people they are stalking and harassing? It that it? Is it YouTubers pretend to care about things for pseudo-fame and money but really they're solipsistic garbage who would actively antagonize a guy into murdering your daughter? THAT'S THE ONE! That right there! THAT'S the lesson we can all learn from this... Wait... Maybe it's personal attacks lead to sex with pornstars... Sometimes? Hopefully yes!"
