Ad hominem: "'Resort is had to ridicule when reason is against us.'---Jefferson
'A truth's initial commotion is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was believed. When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker, a raving lunatic. --Dresden James
'They (medical doctors) are bred in the faith that vaccination is a preventive of small-pox, and go on to practise it and to live by it. Be fair, therefore, to the doctors, and ask yourselves whether you would not believe as they do, and act as they do, if your training and interest coincided with theirs. We believe our teachers. I never heard of anti-vaccinators except as fools and fanatics, whose existence was marvellous. The only knowledge of vaccination I had was from a medical lecture explaining the nature of the process and the usual effects that follow it.'---Dr Allinson 1883
Surfac Simile: Making others wrong to make you right. This tends to hide the fact you are wrong (usually to yourself mainly). If you can push the other person into an emotional state with your making wrong then they will never see the ploy, as you can't reason in an emotional state. Most ad hominem is based around this concept. "
