Trying to make arguments you don't like go away and silencing the messenger

Now that's what's called "ad hominem".
No, it's not - it's just stating the facts; this was not the first such
incident.
Of course it is. The definition is simple enough, e.g. from Wikipedia: An ad hominem
(Latin for "to the man"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is an argument made
personally against an opponent instead of against their argument.
Hmm, I can see how you could view this as an ad hominem, given that definition,
How can that be seen as anything else? What definition do you have?
You made a mistake under the heat of the argument. We all do. Don't try
to explain how actually you didn't. The right course is to casually
apologize and move on.
but it's not meant to be one and actually isn't - it has no bearing on
the @property nor ()-less calls issues; this is just about the process.
Remember how you originally replied to my message, after removing everything
but one sentence, which was clearly both a summary of my subjective position
and deliberately phrased in a way to encourage at least some consideration wrt
$subject by others making a decision.
I kept the sentence that I had a reply for. The rest I understood and
agreed with.
