–adjective
As explained to me in Philosophy 201, Logic, it (Latin for to the
man) is a term meaning to attack the man as a means of attacking
his position. It's one of the classical fallacies. The other Latin
one I remember is post hoc ergo propter hoc (follows, therefore

It's when you shoot the messenger instead of the message, literally to
the man. You will notice a lot of this in political discourse when
someone on one side (the hearer) disagrees with something one on
another side said (the sayer), and starts trashing the sayer as a

Here's what Dictionary.com sez:

1. appealing to one's prejudices, emotions, or special interests
rather than to one's intellect or reason.
2. attacking an opponent's character rather than answering his
argument.

Speaking of which, if anyone is ever in Charleston SC there is a little
restaurant called The Hominy Grill that has some extremely yummy
victuals, and has been lauded by all the big name chefs and magazines,
etc. It's in an old barber shop in an old neighborhood, very nice to

I can remember a RT writer doing an article on taking a trip in a 2CV truck,
which he likened to a sloth trying to escape from a quonset hut, and I had to
agree with him.

I had a 1959 Volvo P 544S IIRC back in grad school (1969) that was great fun
to drive. It could cruised along at 77 all day long, 4 speed on a LONG

Hi, All.
Yes, what about the 544 and 122?
I Had an 64 PV544 for two whole weeks, before the center mount for
the rear suspension tore free from the body and pole-vaulted me into the weeds.
Also had a very fine 1967 P222 (122S wagon ) that I adored.
Unfortunately it was mine during my divorce
My family bought a new 1969 144s, 4 spd. I inherited it at about 75Kmi. Drove
it to about 160Kmi, it started using oil.
Being young dumb, I yanked engine to O'haul it.
Everything inside (Cylinders, Bearings, etc) were at NEW product specs! The
damn thing only needed valve seals.

Used to work on both the 544 and the 122 in the '60s when I was

There was a 544 running in a local gymkhana (sp?) with wide Goodyear
Blue Streak tires. He managed to tip the car over trying to break the
tires loose in corners! Talk
In those days Volvo was more a cult car than a political stereotype.

Found this definition of a Volvo driver on line.
Volvo drivers are people who value quality and safety over ostentation. They
are often liberal, well educated, and upper middle class.
Volvo drivers appreciate the cars' understated comfort and the manufacturer's
concern for the environment.
You want preppy, you gotta drive a Saab. Volvos are for a different
crowd, the prepster's parents, or handed down to the prepster from the
parents when they finally bought the Benz.
