I'd have to say that while Phil is very often a source of very good
information on this newsgroup, the above post very definitely looks like an
"ad hominem" attack.





** Well, you must have a strange idea of what constitutes "ad hominem".

FYI #1

Fair comment is NOT an "ad hominem" attack.

Advising a poster who uses an offensive, smart arse remark as his only post to go away quickly is not an "ad hominem attack".

Using an offensive, smart are remark as one's only post is the act of a troll.

To also call such a person "brain dead" is fair comment.

What Tobiah posted WAS very clearly an "ad hominem " attack, on me.

He got back what he deserved.


FYI #2

An "ad hominem " attack is typically a mixture of verbal abuse and downright lies posted in place of a proper answer to fair criticism and/or factual information.

Try reading more carefully and thinking a bit harder next time.

If you can.
