Second, who is Bob to be pointing out the use of argumentum ad hominem? He is the *king* of this! All of his attempts to discredit folks who post anonymously add up to what is perhaps the longest-running Ad Hominem Show in Mopologetic history.


too funny!

What are you talking about? I have never garbled a quote in anything I have published -- at least, not that I know about.

Now, you don't really know what an ad hominem is, do you? Do you think it courageous to LIBEL ANONYMOUSLY me about something I have published?

Such a sleazy moron. (THAT, is an ad hom -- wink wink wink!!! Just kidding!)

I thought you knew what a split infinitive is.

I didn't say you "garbled" anything. I said you warped a quote, and you did. The best response you've ever had to this accusation is to claim that Will Bagley liked your article. That's it. Now that I am confronting you with it again, you are essentially lying about it. Not very nice, Bishop Bob!

Uh, no. You engaged in copious ad hominem attacks during that very fun thread about FARMS's peer review process. Remember that? Such fun we had!

Sorry; none of this rings any bells. I doubt Will Bagley "liked" my article or that I ever said that.

Somehow I don't think you are very qualified to take me on; you aren't all that well-read, as I have documented. Basically, Quinn and the internet is all you have. I, for one, can tell the difference between you and Roll-Over.

Nor have you ever published or gone through a peer-review process. Insults and slime are your stock in trade.

Why don't you go back to picking on Wade?

Now, THAY's some ad homs!!! ALthough not really, because there is no topic on the table.

Wow, I am really impressed with your consistent ability to act like a real jerk.

Well, you know what they say. It takes one to know one.

What's wrong with being a coward?
One moment in annihilation's waste,
one moment, of the well of life to taste-
The stars are setting and the caravan
starts for the dawn of nothing; Oh, make haste!

Ask Bob, since he thinks you're one.
