    Cute comic, but I’m starting to hate how people think that an insult is the same thing as an ad hominem. No. If I call you an idiot without attaching any propositions to that, it’s just an insult and not a logical fallacy.

      I suppose “revolt, because the farmer is evel [sic]!” is more of an ad hominem than “revolt, because the farmer will have us all slaughtered!”
