Here's the definition I use (is your's different?)

"An ad hominem argument is any that attempts to counter another's claims or conclusions by attacking the person, rather than addressing the argument itself. True believers will often commit this fallacy by countering the arguments of skeptics by stating that skeptics are closed minded. Skeptics, on the other hand, may fall into the trap of dismissing the claims of UFO believers, for example, by stating that people who believe in UFO's are crazy or stupid."

Here's an example from one of Richard's posts: "And last, but not least, warble tones are not useful because YOU think they are."

Shall we continue?
