Bear Down, When I used the word "presumably" I was making an idle speculation about your motives. That's all I meant. I'm sure you are correct, there is no way for me or anybody else to acquire any insight into your head: now, before or ever. "Ad hominem" is a latin term that means "to the man", it refers to an individual who makes personal attacks against another individual rather than appeal to reason. This was specifically a reference to your comment about 'NAMBLA' which is of course an organization of men who engage in pederasty. Perhaps you could take a moment or two to explain to your many fans on this thread how, "the purpose of my [Bear Down's] post was to show that you shouldn't be taken seriously just like Da Tard". Silly me, but I thought your post meant that you were implying that I was a pederast. But, perhaps I am mistaken about this as well.I supply your post below for easy reference. "Don't you and GaBard have a NAMBLA meeting today?" Message 17673496 As for GaBard, I do not know this Poster, but if his style of writing is similar to mine I suppose I should read his posts as soon as possible. As for voting who is the funniest, I vote for you. My wit is clearly no comparison to yours. Afterall, it is a long honored tradition to compare people with homosexuals and is at least equal to, "your mother wears army boots", and "what planet are you from?" How can we mere mortals hope do better than that? Please believe me when I tell you sincerely that I find your posts most entertaining. I'm sure some of your fellow short-traders, who have been recently making an earnest effort to convey the appearance of professionalism, will think so as well. I'm looking forward to being flamed in your next response. As a comedian wannabe you should have little trouble maintaining your comedic advantage over a "frikken crackpot". Regards, Ed
