One logical fallacy is called an Ad Hominem. This is when someone responds to an argument by attacking the character of a person rather than using reasoning. For example, a response to "Nobody likes when it rains" may be "Just because you're ugly doesn't mean people don't like rain". Have you ever used or experienced an Ad Hominem? Yes, I have used one to debate an argument
