"You're just saying that because you're a nutter!"That's not a counterargument. That's a shutdown. Someone has a point - maybe a good one - so instead of addressing what they said, the other person goes straight for the person saying it. "He's a liar." "She's a crackpot." "Why would anyone listen to him?" The label lands, the crowd shifts, and suddenly no one's thinking about the actual argument anymore. The message gets buried under the insult.

It just gets everyone looking the other way - and suddenly no one's talking about the original problem anymore. That's the You Too Fallacy. Your learners use it, see it used on them, and watch it
