i did not resort to anything ad hominem.

i said unflattering things, yep i sure did!,
but if any of them do not jibe with reality,
then by all means feel free to express that.
if i agree that i overstepped appropriateness,
i will be more than happy to issue an apology.

while i talk about the issues,
david attacks me _personally_,
(and strays from the truth too),
instead of addressing my points.
that's my definition of mudslinging.

anyway, i rarely mention david at all,
and probably shouldn't have gone on
after that initial post, but somebody
_did_ ask.  (and i think that i was fair
by advising him to read david's blog
and make up his own mind about it.)
