A signature is fine too

Pardon the 4chan reference, I couldn't help myself.

Anyway. Yet another war is starting to tank into obligatory tech-wanking, but this one's taken another note. Questers, here, has taken particular offense to one of my pieces of technology, and has decided he's going to flaunt his disapproval by sticking it in his signature. What a swell guy, eh?

Looks like a chat transcript... (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10438146&postcount=100)

I'm not taking very kindly to this. I don't suppose one of you chaps would be kind enough to inform him of my disdain for his Ad Hominem, yes?

I believe it's Ad Hominem, anyway...

Just a quick sidenote with signatures in mind...

Signature Spam: Forum signatures give you space to include a few carefully selected links or quotes. Sigs are attached to every post, and must therefore conform to clutter-reducing rules. Maximum size should never exceed eight lines, including blank lines and quote lines. (A short quote takes up 5 lines - "quote", attribution line, two lines for the box, and one line for the quote). Large font sizes should be avoided and may be trimmed without warning. Posting forbidden links is not allowed. Jolt policy prohibits images in signatures as well, so don't try IMG tags.Yours is presently 10... perhaps you can shrink it a bit?

Well, I know it's one of the fallacies. Can you tell me which one it is, for clarification?
