Henning, have you heard of the "ad-hominem" fallacy?


That's where you make a personal attack on somebody else's character because you can't deal with what they're saying via legitimate debate.

I infer from the ancient Greek origin of the term that this particular ploy was already well known and dissected a loooong time ago.

So, it's really really oooold. You really ought to try to do a bit better than this. Try to maintain a higher standard of discourse, because this kind of thing reflects poorly on your work. People will likely draw negative inferences. (I already have, for example.)

Regards,

Jonathan Revusky
