I think I can safely assume that I am part of the
"Miller four" and I don't find anything that is OK at all about the scheme below - at best it is trying to balance on a slippery
slope. All a person would be doing by implementing something like
this is "locating themselves" publicly because of a truth - "out of the
abundance that fills the heart the mouth speaks" -
and only a very dark heart would come out with something like this

Your definition of "ad hominem" has done absolutely nothing to end the problem Tensions have not decreased one wit because of your "rule. And what will become of any of your endeavors where this idiotic formula exists? Ps 49:10 "...the stupid and the senseless alike perish."
now -- let's look at the above. In no way did I actually attack Miller. I spoke of "idiotic formula" and quoted a scripture with the word "stupid" in it. Miller will never admit that this was offensive to him because he has his "rule" to defend -- but the fact is, the post, my post, is very insulting. That is apparently ok with the Miller Four (Perry is not a part of this group, incidently -- the street fighter is)
