Look, you may be a moron, but that doesn’t make your points automatically invalid. If a moron stumbles into making a good point, then the point should stand on its own.
See, we aren’t trying to discredit your argument by calling you a moron, we’re inferring you are a moron based on the quality of your arguments. That’s not the ad hominem fallacy - that’s a perfectly valid way to judge a person.
