Ad hominen attacks on me by a GUEST are almost always likely to just get them back in response. After all they are only a GUEST, and I can't tell them apart, since they can post under ANY GUEST id they want at any particular time. If you are dingo enough to anonymously contribute to a public discussion by means of ad hominen attacks, then that is obviously the way you wish to be treated, and I won't bother to respect you as a human being.

I do try to be a nice guy, but if someone thinks they can hide behind anonymity and make nasty attacks on me, then they don't know that I am prepared to wait until someone who gloats over being nasty to me dies, so I can dig the bastard up and piss on him!
