I think it is similar to a Bishop image.

You have proven that in spades. I no longer believe that you would benefit from man to boy confrontation."

One simply cannot say that the writing "is just plain stupid" without casting doubt on the intellectual abilities of the author. "Barf" is not the man's name and Judy speaks these words as would a well trained parrot.OK JD; I publicly apologize for using a derogatory term to describe one of your religious mentors. However, you are far from clean yourself in this area. Is calling me a "well trained parrot" kind? As Perry has pointed out, I am here on TT.Barth is not. I don't care where Barth is not. I accept your apology. I assume it is genuine. I did not call you a "well trained parrot," did I? It was a reference to the fact that these words were actually Kevin's. Having said that, do you not get the point of my post? Has it completely missed you? Of course giving comparison to YOUR WORDS ( .. speaks these words as would a well trained parrot ... ") is inflaminary. I will apologrize for making that comparison. Read on, Judy.She has so committed herself to the disgracing of Barth as to render her comments bigoted and biased -- words and judgments written without personal knowing. I regard these words as both ignorant and stupid -- and the glory of it all is that I get to say such things without crossing the line of "ad hom" because I have limited my attack to her words and not to her person. Asinine. Such a line solves no problems and allows the kind of negative immaturity that typifies TT discussions .The above is an "ignorant" statement. The whole "inerrancy movement" was to counteract the unbelief of the likes of Karl Barth and the damage his teachings and writings had done and were doing to the evangelical churches. Why are you so quick to offend the living in taking up an offense for the dead. It makes no sense at all. The "inerrancy movement" is a figment of your mind. It pre-dates Barth by many years. I do not know who gets credit for coming up with the words "verbal / plenary" -- but I am confident that these were not created to fight Barth. More than this, you can give me no example of Barth's harmful effects. Show me from his words ---------------- put up or, well, shut up!!!"Barf" is vomit, Perry. It no more is beyond "ad hom" than calling Judy Jezebel. She is not a whore and Barth is not a pile of vomit. If you disagree, then I will argue that Jezebel decribes the whoring words of one who has prostituted the truth for a lie.................and it will become a part of my presentations here on TT. I will use it to describe Judy in the same sense that The Revelations uses the word. What do you think? jdI'm not Perry but I would think as a grown adult who claims to be a believing pastor that you should know better JD would someone explain to this lovely woman just what I was doing with the above. I am speaking as a pastor. I do agree that such conduct is harmful and wrong spirited. I do not believe that Jezebel is a word that should be used with you in mind, for any reason. Now, with that statement of fact in mind -- go back and see if you can figure out what I am trying to accomplish in the above?jd
From: Charles Perry Locke <cpl2602@hotmail.com>John, there are many dimensions to the ad-hominem argument on which Webster's does not elaborate. In fact, the way the ad hominem attack is most often used on TT is to demean the opponent for 1) hoping to discredit them to the point that their arguments seem untrustworthy, 2) to throw a red herring into the argument to avoid answering the opponent's argument, and 3) is almost alays a sign of defeat in the argument.
...and "Jezebel" is one such ad-hominem.
While "Barf" for "Barth" is indeed an ad hominem, it is meant to discredit a third party to which the opponent has referred as an authority. However, it is not intended to demean t he opponent him/herself. Terry did the same by saying Calvin would make a good Muslim. I do not consider these critical ad-hominems since they are not intended to hurt or demean other TT members, although they are still a poor technique in argumentation.
Side bar...in my recent survey of the ad-hominem reference I was surprised to find that it is, in some types of arguments, regarded as an effective argument...and that was exclusively in political debate.
