A form of Circular Reasoning

1) If X is scum, then his arguments are scummy.
2) X is scum.

3) Therefore, X's arguments are scummy.

This is an invalid argument. It's not a good way to persuade anyone else that player X is scum, except perhaps that it might draw attention to the fact that player X hasn't produced any good arguments or evidence in his favour.

It may have value in terms of getting a reaction from player X or other players.
