    Well it's not a fallacy at all. If it was a fallacy there would be some logical discrepancies.

    Me calling someone stupid for no reason isn't a fallacy, it's an opinion.

    I know that you're trying to use "logical fallacy" and "Ad hominem" because you heard them as buzzwords somewhere, but it's not a good gambit when you don't understand what they are.

    He's not wrong necessarily. Just stupid.

    1) Yes, it is a fallacy. Whether someone is wrong on a subject or not isn't a broad indication of their intelligence.

    2) Fallacies and opinions are not mutually exclusive. Please stop pretending they are.

    3) You just assumed that since I mislabeled your opinion as an argument ad hominem that I heard it as a 'buzzword' somewhere, implying that I don't really understand what logical fallacies are. Certainly sounds like another Ingolf fallacy to me.

    1. I wasn't calling him stupid based on the fact that he was incorrect on this subject, it's through lurking these forums and seeing the things he spews out regularly.

    2. They are not mutually exclusive, but the opinion that "You are stupid" after seeing him post idiotically time and time again is not a logical fallacy.

    3. It was an educated guess. This post further cements my initial argument too.

    Lol you go as low as putting that as part of your sig, lol you are one strange man x.x.

    Edit: And that right there just furthers my point on how you are beyond rude on these forums.

    1) Just like the things you spew out regularly? Personal attacks must turn you on or something >.>.

    Your educated guess was wrong, then. I'm simply being lazy because double checking whether or not I've labeled your argument correctly no longer affects my grade.

    The fact of the matter is, no matter how much you think people deserve it, you're being an asshole. You should either block him or move on to more substantive topics.
