Iains - stop whining about ad hominem..

It is more than justifiable to not only refute what you write,
but to also identify and expose the malign motivations of the person writing them...

If in the course of robust debate there are exchanges of matey banter insults,
.. well.. that's what grown up blokes do, and have done since cavemen first uttered
"mate, stop being such a whiny **** !!!"...


Of course, we all know that whining about ad hominem is what right wing zealots do as a last resort
when they know they are being beaten in rational informed debate..
That and the associated evasive tactic of accusing their winning opponents of being too vulgar
using coarse language,
so that you can then act all superior and escape from debate with your tail between your legs...

We know those are two mostly used smarmy right wing parachutes out of trouble...
