Or to quote the bard more or less directly:

She draweth out a thread with her verbosity finer than the staple of her
argument. I abhor such fanatical phantasimes, such insociable and
point-devise companions; such rackers of orthography ... This is
abhominable, which she would call ad hominem: it insinuateth me of insanie:
anne intelligis, domine? to make frantic, lunatic.
