We all resort to the ad hominem from time to time: in human affairs, it is difficult to avoid it, and probably not desirable. After all, our opponents are human. The proper use of an ad hominem argument, however, still requires evidence to back it up. -- Theodore Dalrymple
Political correctness will die as it lived - kicking and screaming ad hominem abuse as a substitute for arguments. -- Wendy McElroy
