Mike, I have to take exception to your remark.
Saying "You're full of crap about this one" is not an ad hominem attack. It equivalent to saying "You are absolutely mistaken about this one"... It is not saying that 'I don't believe you because you're full of crap.' Admittedly, it is somewhat rude, but not outside of normal usage - in some circles. The comment about me working for Arm and Hammer as a paid shill, implying that I only take that position because I'm a supposed paid shill, *is* an ad hominim attack. So, I would have to say that you are half right, and that you are half full of crap about that one... (This is a joke, by the way... ;-)) Dan On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 10:43 AM, M. G.
