:No one here is saying that morals, character, and faith do not matter, nor is anyone saying that moral relativism is correct. I am merely saying that an argument's strength is determined by the argument, not the speaker. Do you disagree? [[User:CCalloway|CCalloway]] 10:08, 17 March 2009 (EDT)

== Delete Non-fallacious Uses section? ==
IMHO, this section needs to be deleted. It's not only hypocritical and false, it's also (ironically enough) one of the worst uses of argumentum ad hominem I've ever seen. At the very least, it needs reformatted. Joseph Kony advocates worshipping Christ, and using the logic in that section, his (supposed) love of Christ would be bad, and (so it is implied) anyone else who loves Christ would be immoral, as well. On the other hand, you could easily dismiss a schizophrenic's argument that bugs are crawling over him, you, and the walls and burrowing inside everything. In short, bad character doesn't automatically make ones argument worthless, but mental disorders do (or should, IMO). [[User:Kicple|Kicple]] 10:45, 13 April 2012 (EDT)
