Please note that personal attacks do not have to be ad hominem. Yes, I resorted to that, admittedly and unfortunately, but certainly not because it was my only thing to say to keep it going. However, I was indeed personally attacked without it being ad hominem. This is not fishing for an apology - I honestly do not need one nor do I care - I just want to point out while I participated I certainly did not start it.
