Appeal to contempt
Appears to be a neologism; can find no evidence that this term is actually used. The fallacy actually described appears to be another form of ad hominem. I'd say Delete. Your thoughts? Christopher Parham (talk) 22:06, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, as ("appeal to contempt" fallacy) gets 0 Google hits. If there was more information there, worded differently, there might be something to merge with epistemology.  Jkelly 22:42, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Christopher Parham. -- Kjkolb 02:24, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Ditto. --Flex 12:18, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge? The term may be incorrect, however the information seems solid enough. Perhaps merge into ad hominem. Unsigned comment by Garfunkel4life (talk &bull; contribs)
