    I try real hard to say what I think without being purposely insulting. I do this, because as soon as someone resorts to insults or character attack, I stop reading or listening to them (even when they am not involved in the conversation).

    Avoid personal attacks and name calling if you want your point to remain valid to the listener.

          I remember somone calling my comment an ad hominem. Bitch, that was not an ad hominem, that was just a plain old insult.
