YOU may not have insulted, but your quote did. The quote couldn't insult him in this forum, if you didn't copy and paste it here. Isn't that guilt by default?
Okay, I guess I owe zynner an apology. Ad Hominem simply means referring to the person rather than the content of his arguement, and my intention was indeed to use the writers own identification against him.

But if using the writers own simple identifying statement is considered an attack, then the writer has his own problems.

Still, my sincerest apologies, zynner, for flying off the handle. I took ad hom to mean "insult" or "personal attack" and I didn't see using the writers own verbatim text as a possible insult. It was, however, referencing the person rather than his arguement.
