Lings, next LoyarBurok get-together you can be the referee. Interject with "argumentum ad hominem!" at the appropriate junctures.

You'll be a busy man.:P

Lingswaran,

You implying that people who whack you are argumentum ad hominem lah is it?

Maybe you should be more humble. Just because people disagree doesn't mean they have no merit lah bhai.

Hi! I'm a big fan of your writings, i have been following your stuff since i read the piece you churned out with Faisal Mustafa at Merdeka Review, the one titled Ganyang Malaysia, and i must say Republic of God is a masterpiece!. I like your style, i would love to meet up with you sometime, if you don't mind.
