I reiterate: an insult only becomes ad hominem when it is used in lieu of an argument. Incidentally, I chose the word 'retard' as an example of the type of epithet commonly seen flying around and precisely because I personally would not use it. You'll note I also chose English and male, to illuatrate that not all ad homs need to be obvious insults.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
