I assume this is flamebaiting (his general tone throughout the thread is rather insulting, but I thought I'd highlight this post). You are probably more than aware this is by far not his first time flaming.

Corneliu's not the only one in that thread in providing classic examples of argumentum ad hominem.

According to debate guru Brian Yoder, your proper response should be:

Identify the attack and show that the character or circumstances of the person has nothing to do with the truth or falsity of the proposition being defended.

He didn't have anything about my proper response, so I stuck with http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13010330&postcount=212.

Cheers, most insightful. And a much belated welcome to the mod team.

*doffs hat* Thankee kindly.
