Not in the least an ad hominem, not even a tinny tiny bit? Be honest with
yourself Samantha, suppose a few days ago I had said you were dishonest,
tremendously uncaring and I hope you encounter a swarm of carnivorous
reptiles, what do you suppose your reaction would be? I'll wager you'd be
writing a protest letter to the list administrator at this very instant
demanding I be kicked off. If the many worlds interpretation of quantum
mechanics is true in some parallel universe I did make such a intemperate
remark and you are writing a protest letter.

Ah, speaking of ad hominem ....

Perhaps you imagine the difference is that I am a scoundrel so your insults
are obviously true while you are a paragon of virtue so my insults would be
obviously false.
