Michael Joseph Beauchot - 2004-06-11

I have a serious question to ask - why do so many people resort to ad hominem attacks?

Is it that they are incapable of arguing the merits of something?

Is it that they are unwilling to do so?

Is it that they just like to provoke people?

What is the explanation(s)?

And, please, in responding. let's only hear responses that address the post.
