A fallacious ad hominem argument has the following basic form: Person "A" makes claim "X". There is something objectionable about Person "A". Therefore claim "X" is false.

Ad hominem is one of the best known of the logical fallacies usually enumerated in introductory logic and critical thinking textbooks. Both the fallacy itself, and accusations of having committed it, are often brandished in actual discourse. As a technique of rhetoric, it is powerful and used often because of the natural inclination of the human brain to recognize patterns.

In the context of the Church of Scientology and Anonymous, it sounds a lot like this:

Anonymous makes the claim that the Church of Scientology is an abusive organization.
The Church of Scientology states that Anonymous is a terrorist, a bigot, a hate criminal, and etc.
Therefore Anonymous's claims are false.

As you can tell, this does not make sense. Their attacks on our collective character in no way refutes the incarceration of Lisa McPherson.

It does not refute claims of their harassment of critics such as Paulette Cooper, Tory Magoo, Arnie Lerma, Shawn Lonsdale, Wise Beard Man, Ex-Scientologists, and Freezoners.

It does not refute FBI documents on Operation Snow White or Operation Freakout.

It does not refute claims of slave labour within the Rehabilitation Project Force

It does not refute the fact that David Miscavige is an asthmatic dwarf

It does not refute the fact that Psychiatry is objective science and that Scientology is not.

It does not refute the claims of forced abortions within the Sea Org.

It does not refute the claims of child labour.

It does not refute the claims of brainwash.

It does not refute the claim that the Church of Scientology runs akin to an Orwellian society.

Dear Office of Special Affairs. Just "give" "up" already?

We are Anonymous

We are Legion

We do not forgive

We do not forget.

We has logic and we isn't afraids to use it.

=============================
An attack on one's character does not refute their argument. Anonymous did not make any bomb threats nor did Anonymous fire gunshots. Also, there is no proof that Anonymous sent those white powder packages. Also notice how the OSA did not bother putting in any information about Anonymous' Global and PEACEFUL protest on the 15th.

Yeah. Anonymous made "I am legion" or "we are legion" into their catchphrase. And they are pretty fucking legion.

[aaaaaFuck]

This isn't some half-baked argument of semantics. And I'm not arbitrarily defining the word Religion to suit my own needs. $cientology does that.

Religions don't force people to pay copious amounts of money before sharing beliefs.

$cientology is a business. They exist for the sole purpose of making money.

Educate yourselves on the Gulen Movement and the Gulen Charter Schools. F Gulen is responsible for the arrest of over 60 journalists He owns a power house of social networks across the globe and in America. His schools in America pay for and fiance his fascist cause of human rights violations. He has over 1000 lawsuits against those who spoke out. The American Government is aware of his activities.
