It is important to note that the label “ad hominem” is ambiguous, and that not every kind of ad hominem argument is fallacious. In one sense, an ad hominem argument is an argument in which you offer premises that you the arguer don’t accept, but which you know the listener does accept, in order to show that his position is incoherent (as in, for example, the Euthyphro dilemma). There is nothing wrong with this type of ad hominem.

Which part did you accept? I already checked, you are not the other mischief, it is a coincidence, however your_mother lives approximately 8 minutes from that person. No one suggests that you are the other person or abusing heroin.

The whole discussion started by you coming with constructive critics, and suddenly you turned into dragon spitting fire with irrelevant personal attacks. I can go arguing about what rights you have to give one hard time for assuming he/she does not provide the standards that you or your favorite project (which you promote on perlmonks too!) do not do it at the first place (ethos) , but I have better things to do (logos).

When it comes to "hasty generalization, or more exactly a fallacy of composition." What would you call your "delusional" statement or your conclusion of html writing skills of the poster who did not use the html tags provided?
Since you show a great interest in a subject I studied long time ago and which I like too (speech or rethorics) , how would you classify your very own arguing/persuading/reasoning? Have you had enough evidence and material to call a complete stranger "delusional" or judge his html skills?

Can you be honest with your self and define your persuading/reasoning with regards to logos, pathos and ethos and feel comfortable with it?
