this is where you would be attacked by a persons character, rather than by the answer of the argument.
Example - "You failed third grade so your answer is invalid." or "you cant go to law school because your dad is a criminal"

"(of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining."
- Google's Dictionary
Basically when someone has a statement opposing the other person in the argument.
