Doug, despite the fact I generally disagree with you I respect you ability

But Max is right on this point. The ad hominem attacks detract from
otherwise well-articulated arguments, rather than contributing to them.

Baloney.

You and Max are always calling names because you can't
summon any facts or logic to support your statements.

Perhaps you believe that my pointing out your errors is the
same as insulting you? You simply have repeated this
"ad-hominem" stuff so often that you believe it yourself.
Now let's see the proof: quote at least three of my insults
to you in the past month. Last time I challenged you to do
so, you were rather quiet for a few days.
