I'm usually on your side in many of your posts. But not on this one. You

This is a textbook example of arguing _ad hominem_--attacking an opponent's
character rather than by answering his contentions.
I am currently working on an article on trilobites with Art. I have not
found any of the character deficiencies you lay on him.
Back down, Dick. Deal with his arguments, and lay off the character assault.
Best ever,
