Wow, I see you are powerless to resist posting the Baloney Detector on virtually every thread, no matter what the topic. Compared to you, the CEH website, which is the creator of the Baloney Detector, uses this symbol quite sparingly. You know, they say that repetitive motion disorders, such as your incessant need to post the same baloney detector over and over, is often the result of longstanding infant brain disorders, or traumatic brain injury. You should really check into that. Who knows, by now they may have a medication or a procedure that will help solve your heretofore irresistible repetitive behaviors.

Wishing your full recovery--GGG

Argumentum ad Hominem :

The fallacy of attacking the character or circumstances of an individual who is advancing a statement or an argument instead of trying to disprove the truth of the statement or the soundness of the argument. Often the argument is characterized simply as a personal attack.

1. The personal attack is also often termed an "ad personem argument": the statement or argument at issue is dropped from consideration or is ignored, and the locutor's character or circumstances are used to influence opinion.

2. The fallacy draws its appeal from the technique of "getting personal." The assumption is that what the locutor is saying is entirely or partially dictated by his character or special circumstances and so should be disregarded.

Ad Hominem is not a valid debate tactic. Pictures, Images and Photos

Actually, this is only the second time that I recall (once earlier today) but it is quite fun now that I found your guide for how to write these articles. But now that you've brought it back up, I'm glad you are giving us an example of:
Ad Hominem
Definition:  Against the man, attacking the opponent instead of his argument.
Ridicule
Definition:  Attempting to arouse dislike against a person or idea by name-calling, sarcasm or jokes.

Having your guide for presenting articles is great fun. Have you become what you claim to hate the most?

Like "Temple Of Darwin" ranting, I hope....
