Ad Hominem arguments are the favored response of the uneducated, the untroubling and those who seek to offend and cause trouble. I believe this to be true.
I remember being told in College by my Debating Coach, Dr. Mike Wallinger, that using ad hominem arguments is a debating competition would be grounds from being dismissed from the team.
I'd love to see that become a societal standard for Public Argument. What if our news media started to say. " He or She resorted to an Ad hominem argument. Once that occurred, We stopped listening. As all good people know, If you are prepared for the discussion and know how to argue properly the facts in dispute, There is no need to be insulting fascinating and crass!"
