No. "Ad Hominem" refers to ignoring an argument and instead going for the personal attack. I never ignored your arguments, I replied to all of them. The above is about how Bruno keeps answering your questions, and then you either pretend that he didn't or make fun of his mode of expression, with your "pee pees" and "homemade terms" and all the rest. You frequently brag about not reading after the first line, and then you spare no unfounded criticism. You lie frequently about him not answering you, as Quentin pointed out before. My problem with you is not that you disagree with me, it's that you sabotage communication on purpose. > I have never called anybody on this list an asshole, and before the era of > Donald Trump I very rarely used that word in any context even in private > conversations.

For me it took seven years of witnessing your bully strategies.
