Regarding the lack of ad hominems

As regular readers may have noticed: Despite the explicit statement in the description above, there has to this date been no instances of ad hominem attacks1, raging or not, posted on this treatise.
It isn't that we consider ourselves above this method of approach; we simply haven’t run out of arguments yet. There's also a certain respect for human beings in play here that may help mitigate the emotional outrage required for a proper flurry of insults to be thrown towards one or more disagreeing parts.
Regardless of that, I beg you to rest assured. We, too, are fallible creatures (albeit transcending mere mortals) and will at some point tumble down that path. And when we do, it will get nasty.
