rd: that wasn’t an ad hominem attack. It was the opposite of one, actually.
An ad hominem attack is where you attack ideas because of the person who said them.
This was attacking the person who said them because of the ideas he said.
And I agree with the attack, in this case. I don’t know how you can have the arrogance to say such things about tosfos, and I really have nothing to discuss with you in the matter of religion anymore.
I still think you’re a nice guy, and I still like to chat with you. But we do not practice the same religion, and I have no interest in interfaith dialogue.
