Merely name calling ISN'T and ad hominem - it's just name calling. You can call it an 'ad hominem attack' but that's just a overly wordy way to say 'name calling'. It's dumb.
      You may then find the Merriam-Webster definition dumb:

      Definition of ad hominem (Entry 1 of 2)
      1 : appealing to feelings or prejudices rather than intellect
      an ad hominem argument
      2 : marked by or being an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made
      made an ad hominem personal attack on his rival

        Yes, making false and hateful assumptions about someone you don't know is very moronic.

            You cite the dictionary definition instead of the fallacy - in the middle of a debate.

              You tried to make the point that I did not use the word correctly. Pointing to a definition in the Merriam-Webster dictionary seems rather fair, don't you think?

                Sometimes the problem isn't with the argument, it is with the person. Someone that is just not intelligent enough to understand an argument is that. Pointing it out doesn't 'win' the argument, but it does show that continued discussion with said person is pointless.

                  Awww, poor didems. Are you crying, you need your mummy?

                  Stop spreading false claims. Or everything I said isn't an assumption.
