If you want to avoid ad hominem attacks, Manoj, I suggest not using them in the first place.

You do seem to value the attack quite a bit more than the argument. That's your choice, of course. Just don't be surprised about the reactions. > If you are offended by my opinions on spoon feeding adults, so > be it.
