Thanks for being frank. I will be frank too. It appears to me that you were disinterested even before you said this because you do not seem to have read what Ashok said about me and my not having travelled to Pakistan. That in fact is what started off this round of "tiresome ad hominem"
The proper resonse to ad hominem is to point it out, and ask for a response to the points being made. Ad hominem in response may be emotionally satisfying, but it does not advance the discussion in any useful way.
Under the circumstances - your conclusion about my ad hominem remains as unfair as Biju's statement.
What conclusion do you think I made? Only that everyone who is induging in ad hominem, including you, is poisoning the well. "But Daddy, he started it!" is not a justification for bad behavior. -- Charles
