You totally missed the use of illustrative analogy and you also read abuse into a potential observation that surely does not rise to the level of abuse.

You also disregarded my “evidence” - which while was somewhat anecdotal, does speak to a truth that can be and has been backed up by more scientific research.

And then there’s the notion that the definition you used for Ad Hominem is the accepted definition in today’s parlance. I do not.

Oh for 4.

You’re right in that I didn’t get my def from Wikipedia. If that’s your source for philosophy, I don’t wonder at your comments. Evidence? You mean a remark from your cousin-pastor? Evidence of what—a sense of humor?

You go right on keepin’ count, tho.
