To me, this sort of ad hominen comment is anti-productive and out-of-place 
in technical discussion.

This is a technical claim that can be debated.

Though slightly indirect, this strikes me (as well as the target) as an ad 
hominen slap that detracts from the technical argument in the rest of the 
post.  See comment above.  I do my best to restrain and censor such add-on 
comments and recommend the same to others, for both personal and public 
benefit.
