Refraction (Bent Thinking) #13

Argument To The Man (Argumentum Ad Hominem):  Attacking  the other person instead of the argument. Refutation: Arguments are like math problems.  It makes no difference who presents them – they stand or fall on their own merit. Example:  Adam: Betty, I know that what you are saying about contraceptive use sounds right to you, but you have to remember that you are dumb blonde. Side Note: Of course this has happened to all of us… and all of us have used it. The best response if someone uses this on you is to deflect it away and say that you would like to discuss the matter at hand rather than each other.
