and it certainly doesn't constitute a rebuttal

Neither does ad hominem, but that never stops you from trying, which is counter to the please line above each post reply window.

Andrew, if this is what you're talking about, I can assure you that you've never seen me when I'm making a serious ad hominem attack:

My post #450 to VadeRetro:
AndrewC has the natural abilities that would make him an excellent proof-reader. But fly-specking, although a necessary task, isn't the same thing as making a substantive review, and it certainly doesn't constitute a rebuttal.
I was most definitely criticizing your analytical technique here, which is sometimes good, but too often mere fly-specking; however I've said nothing negative about your character, your veracity, your sincerity, or your intelligence. Not ever.
