I didn't call you any names, I merely said I thought your argument was of this ilk as in:
"This is the fallacy of assuming something is true simply because it hasn't been proven false. For example, someone might argue that global warming is certainly occurring because nobody has demonstrated conclusively that it is not. But failing to prove the global warming theory false is not the same as proving it true. "
If I were calling you names, that would be an argument ad hominem.
