Arguments ad hominem (name-calling) wastes our time.  If you disagree
with Samet's interpretations of the Torah, then offer your own corrected
Torah interpretations.  If you agree with his interpretations, but disagree
with the Torah in general, then your arguments are with the Torah, not
with Samet.
