marty, i use caps when i need to. only when i need to. people who incapable of understanding a sentence not starting with a capital notwithstanding (ie, you!). ;-)

second, yup, your shoulda been you're. as you can see, i didn't proofread for typos. i still won't. i don't use this forum to practice perfect spelling nor as a means to develop some sort of puffed up intellectual pride regarding spelling. when spelling is important then i spell correctly.

as for "ad hominem," just admit that in your (your spelled correctly lest you get too excited ;-) self induced intellectual stupor you don't know what it means. funny, before telling me that ad hominem isn't a word you at least ought to have asked somebody what it meant. funny, you calling me ignorant in the same post where you utterly expose your own ignorance. arrogance, too. just b/c you don't understand something or are incapable of finding it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

the difference between what you accuse me of and what you are clearly guilty of is that my issues are of little relevance to expressing ideas (except to the linguistically retarded). sharing ideas is the real reason i participate on si. the ignorance that you display utterly is an idea vacuum.

you make sure your punctuation is correct, you double check your typos and insult those who don't while you don't comprehend a thing.

you don't even know it, either. not a clue. you look in an english dictionary for a latin expression, don't find it and say that it isn't a word. when you can't find it you use that as proof it doesn't exist and use that to try another ad hominem (try again, marty. i think you can find out what it means. after all, you are so smart ;-) attack on me. you are transparent.

not once have you debated an idea. i now know that is b/c you have none. it all fits together now very nicely. ;-)

i won't sell what i own b/c picking off guys like you is way too easy ;-)

btw, marty, i said "ad hominem" and not "hominem." surprised somebody of your intellect couldn't tell the difference especially in light of how you stick to such details. oh, that's right, you didn't know what it is and used your ignorance as an excuse for a personal attack. wow, what an example of such outstanding character. NOT!
