RE: [TruthTalk] TOE revisited

Isn’t the idea that a certain person is “the problem” an opinion, rather than a fact? Isn’t that one way of avoiding discussing the issue intelligently, by attacking the person? BTW, I never heard of that card game—sorry.

Let me ask you a question... If a person is the problem, how does one say the person is the problem without it being an ad hominem comment?   Heck... even when one addresses the issue outside of finger pointing, the ad hominem accusation raises anyway!   This is very much like the anti-Lashon Hara people who use the "Your guilty of Lashon Hara" card to keep people form correcting them. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of ShieldsFamily Sent: Monday, 20 December, 2004 12.44 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] TOE revisited Slade, could you please re-post your definition of ad hominem? I can’t find it.
