Ad hominem

As Arendo Joustra, editor of Elsevier News Weekly and one of my mentors, once told his young apprentice (me): never try to make yourself look big by making someone else look small.
In the past week, however, I've read with astonishment three articles by three people I (used to) admire degrading three other people on a personal level. One of the three attacked persons is dead now, which makes it all the more distasteful.
(And no, I won't be mentioning any names, as that might make me guilty of doing exactly the same, although I'm sure it would be more fun to read.)

Must be the spirit of Christmas, ensuring there'll be plenty to make up for next weekend.
