...but I really don't like it when people resort to slanderous debate.

Any comment about someone's personal identity, intelligence, sincerity, biases, preferences, history, associations, or (inferred) motives is an ad hominem attack (even if it appears "positive").

Most people I've encountered recognize that an ad hominem attack is an invalid tactic when I point it out.

Thanks for your thoughtful replies.
