[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 119277, member: 1"] I'm not an expert in argumentation theories but I do believe that [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem']ad hominem [/URL]is a commonly used term which describes addressing the person with an opposing viewpoint and not the topic in dispute during an argument. An example given by Wikipedia is: "Paula says the umpire made the correct call, but this is false, because Paula is too important to pay attention to the game." The original point I was trying to make is that users of this website agree to comply with the Terms of Service and conduct themselves in a civilized manner. This structure is especially important when users are involved in debate or dialogue with someone of a differing viewpoint. That kind of dialogue can easily degenerate if the participants become frustrated and lose their composure. FYI if you believe that another user has violated the TOS there is a process in place to report posts. For example: If I were to become frustrated and lose my composure after reading your responses to my last post I might choose to respond to you with a post pointing out that you are a cheeky monkey. In that situation you could report my post... [/QUOTE]
