[From many - one.]

I do not respond to the content of posts that use ad hominem arguments.

Should you wish to re-phrase you post I will reply.

I didn't use an ad hominem. <<<< That should be taken as a hint that the way many people use the term "ad hominem" to signify just any ole insult is a misuse of the phrase.

I'll give you some examples to work with:

ad hominem: Richard Dawkins is a Marxist, therefore his views on evolution have no credibility.

not ad hominem: Richard Dawkins is a Marxist, therefore he's worthy of contempt.
