It's not ad hominem. If he'd said "you're a right-wing Hindu murderer, so the results of your study are wrong", it would have been ad hominem. But he's saying you have no data to substantiate your argument. That he says you're cheap may be a nasty dig, but it's not ad hominem. Really, "ad hominem" is a very specialised description. Every instance of someone being nasty certainly doesn't qualify. > Jace has just played the "you farted" game on me. Thanks, but no > thanks.

That "makes you" a murderer of Christians only insofar as it allows you to exaggerate what you perceive as a bias against anyone who identifies themselves as Hindu. Or do you think Thaths really can't or doesn't see any distinction between you and the people who burned Graham Staines? -- ams
