I don't think there is any reasonable way for someone to express an essentially negative opinion of another person's character, without being accused of making an ad hominem attack in the middle of a debate, actually. I made the choice to address my remarks about my opinion of you, directly to you Teribus. My comments didn't have anything specific to do with what you had said in the thread, or to do with this particular subject. Hence, no need to address your stance, because I was commenting upon your personality. My choice, and I don't feel the need to defend it to you or anyone else.

I've had my say, and am content to leave it at that.
