Ah, and those ad hominems were so very, very old and repetitive. "POS, buy a burkha, you sleep with Sarman", and of course the grey-bearded, wrinkled and toothless "you want to kill your children". That one really needs to be put out of its misery soon.
Where are all the clever writers of old whose insults were original and even as you got zinged, you had to smile in admiration? The Janice Shells, the Thomas Whites. THe days of the perfect bon mot, the enviable beau geste.
We need phrase euthanasia for overused and repetitive insults.
