Relax. I won't muddy up your thread.
And there's a big difference between an ad hominem attack and pointing out a person's past.
In all the contexts this guy has been active -- nuclear weapons and the various environment issues -- activists have proven time and time again that they have no respect for facts. They have no respect for presenting the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth of an issue.
Why should anyone waste their time debating this or that assertion offered up as a "fact" in an article by one of these types?
The whole left wing fringe exists only by ad hominem rhetoric ("appealing to emotions: appealing to people's emotions and beliefs rather than their ability to think -- [Encarta "ad hominem"]) and not by real facts or actual reasoning.
Okay. I'll get out of your thread now. Enjoy your selves.
