Sargon, there is no need for you to mount up and ride into the fray on your favorite hobby horse which is to attack me ad hominem, that has already been covered by Reno89519 and it is regrettably typical of those who share your presumption.

Sargon, there is no need for you to mount up and ride into the fray on your favorite hobby horse which is to attack me ad hominem...

You're right. It's more of a want than a need...

It's ironic that your comment regarding me attacking you ad hominem is, at least in this particular instance, utterly baseless.

You seem to throw that term around rather liberally, and in cases when it doesn't actually apply.

From THE AD HOMINEM FALLACY FALLACY by Stephen Bond:

One of the most widely misused terms on the Net is "ad hominem". It is most often introduced into a discussion by certain delicate types, delicate of personality and mind, whenever their opponents resort to a bit of sarcasm. As soon as the suspicion of an insult appears, they summon the angels of ad hominem to smite down their foes, before ascending to argument heaven in a blaze of sanctimonious glory.
