“That wasn’t ad hominem. The subject of the post was the man that it was against. And it backed up the attack with evidence. In fact one could argue it was actually response to an ad hominem attack.”

Huh? He said I need a remedial English course. Your argument is a red hearing.

Yes, that is what he *ended* it with. Think of it as a summarization based on the evidence in the rest of his post.

BTW, this isn’t against you. I’m speaking more to the general concept. It’s just that I’m a victim of ad-hominem attack all the time in predominantly liberal sites and have to respond to them all the time. FWIW, if ALL he said was the line you quoted, then it really WOULD have been an ad-hominem attack.
