Wow, someone just discovered logical fallacies, and is shoe-horning everything into one. Congrats.

I dont find it pornographic either. What did he say that was a personal attack?

It wouldn't be necessary if the default 1st choice of response of many posters wasn't personal attacks.

So you defend child pornography - as long as it hides under the cover of being art?
it wouldn't have been necessary if you hadn't used a logical fallacy to characterize karl and what he was trying to say.

Personal attacks are just that. They're not the same thing as ad hominem arguments.

Ad hominem remarks are attacks that are made in lieu of legitimate arguments. They're a form of distraction from the real issue.

In this case, you're being taken apart both by legitimate, logical responses and being made fun of.

Ad hominem abusive

Ad hominem abusive (also called argumentum ad personam) usually and most notoriously involves insulting or belittling one's opponent, but can also involve pointing out factual but ostensibly damning character flaws or actions which are irrelevant to the opponent's argument. This tactic is logically fallacious because insults and even true negative facts about the opponent's personal character have nothing to do with the logical merits of the opponent's arguments or assertions.

Ad hominem as a logical fallacy is when an attack is made in lieu of an argument. However, using an ad-hominem attack after, or in the midst of an argument does not automatically nullify the content within the argument, and does not constitute a logical fallacy, though it may be bad form in a debate.

Yes, weird how that works. You're a purveyor of child porn for disagreeing with me -- but I'm very, very upset when people engage in personal attacks.
