ad hominem, a sure sign one's opponents are Winchester.

You'd better look up "ad hominem," Wes, and think about it hard. The assumed
meaning has gone beyond cockeyed on this NG, and you apparently are buying

I learned the definition as 'against the man'. Maybe I have misremembered, that is quite
possible. Anyway, when a man's ideas are demeaned by some side track like sexual
preference, I believe the argument is weak on the way to lost.
