But then I want to keep moving and so I dismiss acceptance and enter turmoil for a while. It is a cycle of pain, growth, peace, pain, growth, ... There is so much to contemplate, I wish I could live for a thousand years. I am sure I would stay dynamic. Alas...

RMP:
Annotation 140. 
To say that a comment is “stupid” is to imply that the person who makes it is stupid. This is the ad hominem argument: meaning, “to the person.” Logically it is irrelevant. If Joe says the sun is shining and you argue that Joe is insane, or Joe is a Nazi or Joe is stupid, what does this tell us about the condition of the sun? That the ad hominem argument is irrelevant is usually all the logic texts say about it, but the MOQ allows one to go deeper and make what may be an original contribution. It says the ad hominem argument is a form of evil. The MOQ divides the hominem, or “individual,” into four parts: inorganic, biological, social and intellectual. Once this analysis is made, the ad hominem argument can be defined more clearly: it is an attempt to destroy the intellectual patterns of an individual by attacking his social status. In other words, a lower form of evolution is being used to destroy a higher form. That is evil...
