    All of them are similar to the general scheme of ad hominem argument, that is instead of dealing with the essence of someone’s argument or trying to refute it, the interlocutor is attacking the character of the proponent of the argument and concluding that it is a sufficient reason to drop the initial argument.

    Don’t worry, sweetheart, I addressed your argument just fine; that you want to play tone police is on you. :)

      Now you’re ad-homineming me as if I was that other guy you were having a fight with. If your refutation is sound, why do you need to attack someone’s character anyway?
