A) The talmudic principle would better be represented by comprehending what I wrote to you above. Charles judged himself, found that his moderation wasn’t cutting it, and changed. That’s what he’s asking others to do. So, on that talmudic principle, he’s doing fine.

Do you think that anyone who’s ever done something can never criticize people for that behavior? That criticizing someone for losing their temper all the time is hypocritical if I used to, then realized that, and took steps to fix it? Because that’s what your argument amounts to. And it’s a failure.

B) That’s not what ad hominem means. I really wish people would learn that. Ad hominem is saying “Your argument doesn’t count because you stink”, not just “you stink”, and definitely not “Because your argument sucks so bad, you stink.”
