I compose some coherent readable prose and am hardly vulger unless personal as
homenems are put forwards like yours. You seem to have a hard time communicating
what you mean, in my opinion.

I am not you son, how do you make so many mistakes when trying to communicate
with others. I put much thought behind my posts but often respond to fallacious
ad hominem attacks like yours, sometimes in kind.

An ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is
rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person
presenting the claim or argument. Typically, this fallacy involves two steps.
First, an attack against the character of person making the claim, her
circumstances, or her actions is made (or the character, circumstances, or
actions of the person reporting the claim). Second, this attack is taken to be
evidence against the claim or argument the person in question is making (or
presenting).
