Manipulation "A bad person is a bad argument" comes down to trying to discredit a person in any way, and through his denigration show that everything he talks about (arguments, arguments, ideas, thoughts, suggestions) has no right to exist.
Discredit can beat anything: a person can be unaware, inexperienced, and incompetent, and unsympathetic - in general, anything can be found in the arsenal of the manipulator.
Of course, this offends, humiliates, exasperates, acts on an emotional level. A kind of attack on the man himself, and not on what he says. In fact, there is absolutely nothing here.
- "You first dress like a human, and then climb with your ideas."
- "And this tells us a person with a conviction?"
- "What you listen to it, he even manages to make a mistake in the word" contract "!"
- "You first pick a goat from the nose, and then teach us all here!"
"You first come to meetings on time, and then try to take the floor!"
All these are examples of manipulation. "A bad person is a bad argument." It seems to me that here is a very telling and understandable name: to discredit an argument or a person's opinion, one can discredit him, and it does not matter how.
