[...] "ad hominem" attacks [...] This technique is as timeless as the art of debate, eristical or otherwise, and, in special cases, might be construed as not altogether unjustified or illegitimate.

In "special cases", huh? Don't you think that every "ad hominem" attack is a "special case", as far as the attacker is concerned?! To say that such attacks are "not altogether unjustified" in "special cases" is just ridiculous.

Dipy.

Truman: A very wise decision as I read between the lines. Am I to take it that you did not get the $500 I wired to your account this afternoon <g>? If that was not enough, I know a very pretty young lady who would love to serve as an intern in your court. Should I tell her to pack her kneepads <g>? I should have known that you could not be bought! : )
