There's nothing ad hominem about it. Has you right there in the dictionary under jackass.
Apparently, amongst many other issues, you do not seem to comprehend the definition of the ad hominem attack.
The debate was about whether Donald Dumsfeld and Co. should be punished for their crimes against humanity and instead of addressing the issue at hand you instead sought to discredit my argurment by discrediting me.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Description of Ad Hominem
Translated from Latin to English, "Ad Hominem" means "against the man" or "against the person."
An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. Typically, this fallacy involves two steps. First, an attack against the character of person making the claim, her circumstances, or her actions is made (or the character, circumstances, or actions of the person reporting the claim). Second, this attack is taken to be evidence against the claim or argument the person in question is making (or presenting). This type of "argument" has the following form:
Person A makes claim X.
Person B makes an attack on person A.
Therefore A's claim is false.
The reason why an Ad Hominem (of any kind) is a fallacy is that the character, circumstances, or actions of a person do not (in most cases) have a bearing on the truth or falsity of the claim being made (or the quality of the argument being made).<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
This is a fact as is the 100% probability that you are egocentric.
I just admited that 5% of the world's population is intellectually superior to me. That would imply that I care about increasing my intellect as I have idenified a subset that I could learn from - this is hardly the methodology of an egocentric individual. Egocentric generally have no regard for other's opinions and dismiss them almost instinctively.
Look it up.
Sure, why not, but it only shows that you, again, misunderstood basic english ..
