[Af_List] ad Hominem arguments (Vol 28 ,issues 14 and 15)

[different drum]

The problem with almost all debate in this country, from government
downwards (or should that be upwards...) is that it descends into childish
ad-hominem attack instead of sticking to the topic at issue.  Call this
immature, call it lack of confidence, it beats me...but let's keep it out of
this erudite, learned, enthusiastic, special, creative community, shall we?
(there, see how a few compliments can be disarming? :)
