    As Hominem:

    1. appealing to feelings or prejudices rather than intellect
    2. marked by or being an attack on an opponent’s character rather than by an answer to the contentions made

    Source; Meriam Webster.

    So a question to you, if someone who is a known liar makes an argument, and your counter position is that that someone is a liar and should not be taken for their word, are you making an falacious argument?

    If someone were to present a problem, and you have made yourself an active component of said problem, is the person pointing out your part of the problem making a falacious argument?

    Think about that. I doubt you will, but this starting to derail, so I’m just going to leave now.
