Strange friend you have Lance; she has her own definitions for everything.  If something false that
sounds logical is the criteria then we should begin to censure everyone who speaks the truth, it sure
would be a lot less work for the moderator.  1984 has arrived.

DM has never really understood what an ad hominem is. It has nothing to do with rudeness.
All ad homs, as a form of logical fallacy, are a variant of "Your disagreeing with me is just an intellectual
 failure on your part. Hence I am right."
 
The rude parts are just incidental extensions of the first sentence, of the form "...
resulting from your being Catholic, Calvinist, prejudiced, poorly-read, Canadian, Communist, stupid, deceived
by the devil, blind, itchy-eared, liberal, [fill in the blank]."
