Eh?
It's not funny if it's gotta be explained... but
The kitty in the comic kinda looks like the one I'm using for my sigpic.. with the stripes and such...

Praetor Liam was naked while typing this:
Sorry, but that had to be explained. I didn't notice the similarity between the sigpic and that st00pid comic.
HOW DARE YOU INSULT SLUGGY! THE GODS SHALL SMITE YOU WHERE YOU STAND! .. or something.

Hehe, yeah, it's so crazy when people have differing opinions, I suppose.
Or maybe not. I'm thinking not.

Is this an ad hominem attack? I think it is!
quote:
Shamelessly stolen from: hereTranslated from Latin to English, "Ad Hominem" means "against the man" or "against the person."
An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. Typically, this fallacy involves two steps. First, an attack against the character of person making the claim, her circumstances, or her actions is made (or the character, circumstances, or actions of the person reporting the claim). Second, this attack is taken to be evidence against the claim or argument the person in question is making (or presenting). This type of "argument" has the following form:
Person A makes claim X.
Person B makes an attack on person A.
Therefore A's claim is false.
The reason why an Ad Hominem (of any kind) is a fallacy is that the character, circumstances, or actions of a person do not (in most cases) have a bearing on the truth or falsity of the claim being made (or the quality of the argument being made).Example of Ad Hominem
Bill: "I believe that abortion is morally wrong."
Dave: "Of course you would say that, you're a priest."
Bill: "What about the arguments I gave to support my position?"
Dave: "Those don't count. Like I said, you're a priest, so you have to say that abortion is wrong. Further, you are just a lackey to the Pope, so I can't believe what you say."
