Please stop calling things what they are not.  Stephen's post was not an
ad hominem attack, nor was it FUD.  Someone who is countering your
premise and position (IE disagrees with you) is not automatically
attacking your character or some characteristic of your person.

Kudos to Stephen for replying in such a reasonable and even logical
fashion to your post.  Would that you would reply to his posts in a
similar fashion, rather than leveling silly false accusations of "FUD
and ad hominem attacks."
