Uh, so far you have dabbled in ad homimen as your line of argument. So far, you haven't addressed the subject of my argument, which tells me in no uncertain terms, that you have no argument to speak of.

On the Jack Getz Batboy Argument Skills Scale, out of five Batboys, you get one Batboy.

One batboy is usually awarded for just showing up. Ad hominem is sort of like just showing up and mooning downtown traffic from a skyscraper, or better yet, it's sort of like skywriting at night.

Tell you what. Try coming back with substantive argument instead of personal insult, and you might win more Batboys.

You realize, of course, that I'm having great fun with this. Care to try again?

You imagine that "Mossad" is magically all-knowing and all-able. You seem to have no friggin idea of the risk and mortal danger -- not to mention difficulty, and by being difficult the time factor involved -- in carrying out your anime-like secret agent fantasies. That is not ad hominem --for it is YOU with the fantasic idea of what the Mossad can do, and YOU with the incessant "secret agent Jack Kimosabi of the Internal Secret Police in the anime flick 'The Mind-addled Boso in the Machine'" graphic affixed to every one of your posts.
