The Ad Hominem Attack: Don't Take it Personally | Arthur C. Croft, DC, MS, FACO: "By now you've already heard the first 'don't.' Skip the ad hominem remarks, unless, of course, you find some utility in appearing childish and in providing ineffective, oblique arguments. The letter I mentioned in the first paragraph read very much like the kind of 'My dog's better than your dog' patter you hear from grade schoolers. Not much was written about the real issues being rebutted -- the facts questioned by the defense doctor. Suppose it's true that I'm 'merely a seminar jockey,' or a 'whiplash guru.' Does that preclude me from providing real facts to seminar attendees? Well, I guess not. Invidious attacks on me fail to help the doctor prove his point."
