"Ho! Ho! The foul mouth ad hominen attack signifies that you KNOW you have lost the real argument... you're the sort of bullying wanker who called me "four-eyes" at school..."

Wheteher the language is foul or not, the attacks known as 'ad hominum' are coming from many people on this thread, from both sides of the issue. And attack doesn't have to say "you are a dickhead" to be adhominum. It can also simply repeat words taht are NOT 'foul' and still be ad hominum. BTW, I think the use of the term 'ad hominum' sucks. Just can't stand it. Use an English expression. Ad hominum makes me feel like I'm in a southern diner waiting for some kind of grits. It's kinda like calling hamburger "Salisbury steak". It's hamburger for krissake.
