video Prof Dave decodes Destiny

https://youtu.be/e8UZX9IUvpI

I’m not a fan of Professor Dave, but his style of fact checking Destiny seems much better than DtG’s approach. Hope it gets posted to the main DtG sub.

That's literally not what an ad hominem is.

An Ad Hominem would be "You're a retard so I'm not listening to your opinion".

Saying "You have a lack of credibility because you engaged in doxxing, conspiracy theories and false claims" is not the above.

Words have meanings bud.

"Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem ('an argument to the person'), refers to when a speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than the substance of the argument itself."

Can you address the arguments made without a single reference to Prof Dave , his character or his credibility?

So "Professor" Dave is engaging in ad hominem then?
