Refusing to participate in a civil discussion, but instead resorting to ad hominem (attacking the person not the argument) or refusing to consider the other sides argument. If they do this any minor dispute will escalate to a flame war.

You probably got machine-corrected, that's ad hominem. But yes, not being able to handle an argument healthily is a big handicap in life
