Actually, your revision is accurate. I simply failed to mention I was also on the crapper because I felt it would have been TMI.

A fallacy can be defined as: a failure in reasoning which renders an argument invalid. This is why I call them bad epistemologies. Ad hominem translates from Latin to: against the person. Some do argue that not all ad hominems are fallacies. As a fallacy, this where negative attribution of a person is used as evidence. In other words, an attack directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining that is used as evidence against that position. This is the reverse of an appeal to authority fallacy which is when someone tries to use evidence on how good someone is or some other positive attribute about that person to try to prove a claim.
One example of the appeal to authority fallacy would be the following syllogism:
Major Premise: Bob says the flying spaghetti monster is real.
Minor Premise: Bob never lies.
Conclusion: The flying spaghetti monster is real.
There no amount of things, good or otherwise, that can be put in the minor premise about Bob that could ever lead us to the conclusion that the flying spaghetti monster is real. That is why this is fallacy; because it shifts the proof from the monster actually existing to things about Bob.
The reverse is also true. If we were to use the ad hominem fallacy, we would replace the minor premise with something like “Bob is a dumbass” and change the conclusion to “the flying spaghetti monster does not exist”. Now, if I were to say offhand that “Bob is a dumbass” this is not a fallacy, but still is an attack. If the attribution of a person is being used to try to prove or disprove some other point, that is when it becomes a fallacy. Most of the time I see these merely implied instead of directly stated, but the effect is the same.
No worries, I am quite busy myself these days. I would suggest that you also do some research on the side as well. I find it an interesting topic.

Or to put it another way: when someone accused you of having poor reading comprehension; it’s my guess they were trying to be polite.

TIA: It’s not an ad Hominim when you demonstrate post after post after post that you are full of shit, not listening to a thing anyone says, lying, and completely incapable of reasonable or logical discourse. Your posts are completely undeserving of better treatment.

Here’s another irony Tia apparently missed…
She displayed an obvious lack of Reading Comprehension skills… while bitching and complaining… about it being mentioned… she seems to lack… Reading Comprehension skills… and irony awareness. (I swear, I can’t make this shit up. 
)
I have noticed frequent vague reasoning. She is vague on her timing.
And back when we were discussing the clovers, there was confusion because different parties were thinking of a four leaf clover, while another party five.
Am I the only one that liked that movie?
Fucking has time to message me privately to talk about anything BUT her “standard for evidence”.
Still haven’t gotten it - just she has one.
Like her god a mystery and mental pretzel.
Oh - and cut the poor overworked, burdened women some slack, eh??? I mean 
she’s soooo loving doing all of this for everyone else…it’s a miracle.
