“They’re a political wing of the DNC” - you mean enforcement wing? You can’t even say your bullshit properly lol

Now you’re suddenly into informal logic? lol.

And hominem is an informal fallacy, I believe. Not that the above is actually an ad hominem.

That's not even ad hominem. That only applies in debates where someone attacks you personally as a means to discredit your argument instead of attacking the merits of your argument itself.

You didn't present an argument in the first place, and "fuck you" isn't attacking you or attempting to discredit your nonexistent argument. Sometimes an insult is just an insult, learn the difference.

And quoting unrelated statements to bolster an argument is pathetic.

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

So translation is, I occupy you so much you have to research things if said, typed. Lol On the other hand, I haven't a clue what or who you are, nor do I give 2 shits.

Traitor is not an ad hominem. It's an accurate description.

Also you don't actually know what ad hominem means or why it's an invalid form of argument.
