Um, when it is an actual ad hominem attack, then that is what it is. You haven't addressed any of my arguments. You have attacked me and you have tried to change the subject.

I agree, some one is losing.

Complete with a claim of victory.

I was President of the debate team at my school.

I have my doubts.

If such were the case, you'd recognize an argument from authority...

Claiming the other party has engaged in "ad hominem" attacks, is itself a "ad hominem" attack..

No. If this first party truly engaged in an "ad hominen" attack, the offended party can surely state that without having criticized the first party's character. Being called out for making a ad hominem attack points out a weak tactic and not the person's character.

I was President of the debate team at my school.

How big was your school?
