Not the Mac users. Read back over this thread and see who it is using ad hominem attacks?

Swordmaker, I think you are the only one that is using ad hominem attacks. Remember this one:

Swordmaker: Are you truly as ignorant as you appear

The MacCrybaby's are the ones throwing the rocks and spewing personal insults.

Although I have already addressed this, I shall again. Stating that someone appears ignorant is not a slur... ignorance is curable. I then provided you with the correct information to cure your problem.

On the other hand the term "MacCrybaby" is definately a slur... and a general one at that, attacking anyone who disagrees with your exalted opinion of the Macintosh. That IS ad hominem argument and a fallacy.

You know, Dog, when you find yourself in a hole with no way out, it is generally best to stop digging... Admit you really did not know what you were talking about and that your information was second hand and completely outdated.
