[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13.54 here again. I forgot to say that on principle I do not respond to ad hominem arguments. If you need to look up the meaning of the phrase, see this excerpt from Wikipedia:

Abusive ad hominem (also called personal abuse or personal attacks) usually involves insulting or belittling one's opponent in order to attack his claim or invalidate his argument, but can also involve pointing out factual but apparent character flaws or actions that are irrelevant to the opponent's argument. This tactic is logically fallacious because insults and negative facts about the opponent's personal character have nothing to do with the logical merits of the opponent's arguments or assertions.
Examples:
"You can't believe John when he says the proposed policy would help the economy. He doesn't even have a job."
"Candidate Jane's proposal about zoning is ridiculous. She was caught cheating on her taxes in 2003."
"What would Mary know about fixing cars? She is a woman." (an example of Ad feminam)[5]

So no, you don't have kids. And yes, it's relevant. You're on a parenting board doling out (ridiculous) parenting advice to parents. [/quote]

You thus demonstrate the logical fallacy in your ad hominem argument. [/quote]
