[From many - one.]

from your post:

"I didn't equate hands with "manual implements" - only an illiterate would do so, or think that I had done so. I said that hands are one of a number of "manual implements".. "

That's ad hominem. You were trying to attack me, rather than my post.

Attacking you is not an ad hominem. Even attacking you instead of your post is not an ad hominem. Attacking your post via attacking you, is an ad hominem..

But I confess, I skirted very close to the line! =)

PS. And if you must know, what I really committed in that post was a style-over-substance fallacy. I almost always respond to style-over-substance fallacies with equivalent fallacy, because they seriously annoy me.

Hey, sorry for my testiness earlier. I'm just in an overall bad mood and got slightly ticked off by your post for no apparent rhyme or reason!
