A note on what an "ad-hominem" argument consists of: an ad-hominem argument is a logical fallacy in which the [character, intelligence, sexual preferences, etc] of the speaker are attacked rather than the content of the argument. Examples are "The speaker is an ignorant know-nothing, so his arguments are worthless". "The speaker is a communist, so his arguments are worthless". "The speaker is a homo-sexual, so his arguments are worthless". I really expect better of you people... Jeffrey M. Jacobs, CONSART Systems Inc. P.O.
