 | | Straw man. This is the fallacy of refuting a caricatured or extreme version of somebody's argument, rather than the actual argument they've made. | | | Often this fallacy involves putting words into somebody's mouth by saying they've made arguments they haven't actually made, in which case the straw man argument is a veiled version of argumentum ad logicam. | | | If both teams have engaged in ad hominem attacks, or both teams have made a few appeals to pity, then it would hardly be fair to penalize one team for it but not the other. |

| | The circumstantial form of Argumentum ad Hominem is committed when a person argues that his opponent ought to accept the truth of an assertion because of the opponent's particular circumstances. | | | ARGUMENTUM AD LAZARUM The fallacy of assuming that because someone is poor he or she is sounder or more virtuous than one who is wealthier. | | | For example: "Isaac Newton was a genius and he believed in God." This line of argument is not always completely bogus; for example, reference to an admitted authority in a particular field may be relevant to a discussion of that subject. |

| | Flame Warriors ~ View topic - Argumentum ad Annoying? |
| | I'd add, make a broad Argumentum description, to include those who use it (debating principals) when and where appropriately, those who really believe everyone who argues would have to understand the principals, and those who visit forums outside their scope, and use it hammer their somwhat, ill informed opinion, home. | | | Argumentum, though, is broad enough to include the misguided contributer who doesn't realise others are unfamiliar with debate format. | | | "That is an argumentum ad baculum logical fallacy; please restate your premise." |

Domitius, who was to become the emperor Nero. | | | Around 37 AD conflict with the emperor Caligula nearly cost him his life, who only spared him because he believed the sickly Seneca would not live long anyhow. | | | Lucius Annaeus Seneca (often known simply as Seneca, or Seneca the Younger) (~3 BC - 65 AD) was a Roman philosopher, statesman, and dramatist of the Silver Age of Latin Literature. |

| | What Are _Ad_Hominem_ Arguments? |
| | I note that the discussion of "ad hominem" within a taxonomy of fallacies is widely observed, and that we owe it primarily to Aristotle. | | | As you suggest, the so-called "abusive ad hominem" is not a valid argument; but it pretends to be one. | | | In particular, Jason's argument [j] was ad rem -- it relied on "facts" which were pertinent to the matter being discussed; it could not, therefore, be dismissed for being (merely) ad hominem. |

| | While some people do use the warning about hell as a means of arguing around the issues to have someone convert to Christianity, I don’t agree that Christianity is “a whole is one big argumentum ad baculum.” Christianity presents arguments for belief independent of the “believe or go to hell” argument. | | | Likewise, even if I am the only one who sees the connection between non-belief in Jesus and hell, it is still not an argumentum ad baculum to warn someone that there is a hell awaiting them if they don’t receive forgiveness. | | | First and foremost, the real problem with the argumentum ad baculum is that it uses possible ulterior reasons to indirectly change someone’s opinion, but does not directly address the arguments for changing the opinion. |

| | Fifty years ago, a threadbare novelist whose last book didn't sell well may have anonymously applied his talents to the marketing of a new underarm deodorant, but today's adteurs take full credit for their work. | | | This is especially true of the Absolut Literature series of ads, to which authors John Irving, Dominick Dunne, Douglas Coupland, and Julia Alvarez have all contributed. | | | When the Audit Bureau of Circulation added its voice to the threnody with news that seven of the nation's 10 largest metropolitan dailies suffered circulation drops in the six-month period ending 30 September, a few publishers called meetings to discuss how to better serve the illiterate readers they were failing to reach. |
