Ad Hominem

I stumbled today on this term 'Ad Hominem' argument. It was quite interesting, since most of the time we face this in our work environments in the form Design reviewer or as code reviewer or finally as appraiser. They try to attack the person rather than on the subject where it started.. they some time divert from reviewing the code to reviewing the coder....

That was rightly pointed in Jeff Atwood blog on the Top 10 Commandments of Egoless Programming , it was really interesting...you can shell some time on it..I am sure you will enjoy it..

Critique code instead of people— be kind to the coder, not to the code.

Program and Programmer are different...!
