In response to Re: why ad hominem attacks? (boots43)

Boots 43, why the name change?

There are people who will attack you for not being young, and there are probably people who will attack them for not being older.

There are people who attack me for not being Mexican (I'm currently in Mexico) and I in return attack them for being Mexican.

However, at the end of the day I or they don't really give a (insert suitable word here) about nationality, age, or marital status, we are just disagreeing about something and both refusing to give ground, so we throw in a few irrelevancies to make us feel better.

I will say some people here are more than a little nasty about you, but as long as you are happy with who you are etc, I don't think you should let their words affect you too much.

PS I married a Guatemalan lady 12 years younger and she is the one who wants to stay put, so the assumption she married me for a ticket out would be very wide of the mark.
