An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. Typically, this fallacy involves two steps. First, an attack against the character of person making the claim, her circumstances, or her actions is made (or the character, circumstances, or actions of the person reporting the claim). Second, this attack is taken to be evidence against the claim or argument the person in question is making (or presenting). This type of "argument" has the following form:
However, for the rest of your argument I do believe you're right.
in which a claim or argument is rejected
However, It is true that your knowledge it limited to the internet, without internet or your typing machine, you would fail to speak or utter any philosophy.
