Do you even know the meaning of "ad hominem"?

I'm betting you don't, and you think that just plain personal attacks ARE REALLY a part of legitimate debate and do prove something. That would help me to understand you a bit better.

I mean, you correctly asked for citations. I gave 'em, followed up with my evaluation of those circumstances. Followed up, unwisely, with an insult. At least there was the information you requested.

And in my opinion, your follow-up has no information on the issue.

As I'm sure you know, the insults we sling back and forth don't do much but validate our opinions of each other.

Anyway, as a favor, give it a try, will you? What does "ad hominem" mean, and how does it contribute to discussion of an issue?

Thanks.
