Ad Hominem is latin for "to the man", meaning an attack against the person. The
vast majority of the membership here know this, but since you disagreed with my
warning as a moderator, you must be unfamiliar with the phrase. Calling someone
stupid, or implying they are stupid if they disagree with your point, is an ad
hominem attack prohibited by our posting guidelines, clearly listed on our home
page. You would do well to familiarize yourself with them if you desire is to
be a long term member here.
