Accusing someone of being 'boring'What fallacy is it if someone responds to a point by simply accusing the other person of being 'boring'? Because I've noticed that it seems to be quite a common tactic when they simply don't want to admit that the other person is right and they're wrong |

As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don’t eat those humans. Is this logical proof that killing and eating animals for food is immoral? Don’t put away your steak knife just yet.
In Eat Meat… Or Don’t, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor. This book is not about pushing some ideological agenda; it’s ultimately a book about critical thinking.

argumentum ad fidentia (also known as: against self-confidence) Description: Attacking the person’s self-confidence in place of the argument or the evidence. Logical Form: Person 1: You know, I see you straining to come up with these really poignant responses, but the fact is they're really quite boring. Therefore, Y is false. The attack is made against the person's style and substance rather than the actual argument presented. |

Would it be too obvious just to say ad hominem (abusive) ? |
