I'm not sure if this constitutes a personal attack, but I am definately getting the feeling that he might be trying to flame me. I'd rather like to reply with a dry comment about teenage angst and mental maturity.

I might be taking it the wrong way with the language he's using though and the combination of a couple of Kazus' other posts in the thread.

All in all I just wanted to get a mod's opinion on this poster.

Am I making sense?

Sorted.

I can't believe he tried to deny Kepler's First Law of Motion. :rolleyes:

This one too. More a flame than an ad hominem.

Heh... technically, being insulting isn't necessarily an ad hominem attack.

...I find it amazing that they can fling insults over a thread about tomatoes.
