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
it.

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.

Now I'm not clear on who you are claiming to be using an ad hominem
argument. I thought you were referring to me. My assertion is not ad
hominem.
