Donovan,
Not all personal attacks are ad hominem arguments.
If I say "anyone who thinks that slavery is OK is an idiot" that is
not an ad hominem attack. It is just an insult and a comment. First,
ad hominem arguments are ARGUMENTS, not comments. Second, they are
invalid arguments.
I admit I'm insulting at times but I don't use fallacies. And you are
not in any position to be lecturing people who are insulting. I'll
tell you what, let's see who can go longer without insulting
opponents: you or Me.
Your friend, Joe
