My copy of the Concise Oxford Dictionary defines "ad hominem" as "To the man, personal". My language may be colorful, but it is directed squarely at the issues, not at the people involved. I have considerable respect for you and the other people who have been involved in this debate. However, I am at a loss to know exactly what you think we should define "object" as for the purposes of this rule. If you would care to elaborate, I'd be interested in what you have to say. -- Fergus Henderson | "I have always known that the pursuit WWW: | of excellence is a lethal habit" PGP: finger fjh@128.250.37.3 | -- the last words of T.
