in reply to Applying Wise Guidelines Wisely

The node about which you are complaining at such excessive length is not ad hominem. It is quoting from the earlier post, 462030, to say that your response to that post was, in fact, an example of exactly what he was talking about therein.

Your posts and chatterbox offerings deal in large part with your grudges. I don't think I'm overstepping my bounds by much when I say that we have no interest in your grudges. We don't care whom you have on ignore, or whom you have "bad blood" with.

Your attempts to project onto people who voted to keep the node, and paint them as tantamount to the Klan are laughable. It might be instructive for you to consider the possibility that people see things differently from how you do, and that there might be a rational basis for their being less impressed with your pontifications than you are.

But failing that (as I feel assured will be the case), at least consider this tip: succinct trumps grandiloquent. This is PerlMonks, not CobolMonks.
