just in case: ad hom·i·nem (d hm-nm, -nm) adj. Appealing to personal considerations rather than to logic or reason: Debaters should avoid ad hominem arguments that question their opponents' motives.

Thanks. That's why I branched out from my former hideout where I usually discuss philosophy and the nature of God. Talk about hot buttons for some people!! People who consider other points of view with intelligence are intellectually attractive to me at a deeply personal level. I enjoy the company of those kinds of people... But, sometimes frank discussion leads people off the path of reason. Deeply held belief is just ONE of those areas. Social custom and personal views of decorum and propriety tend to also produce this effect.
