When I was a little boy, my father said he had a plug inside his shotgun to reduce the number of rounds it would take.
I could tip the shotgun and hear it fall inside.
Years went by.
I imagined a finely made factory part with special cuts.
The gun was disassembled and I saw it.
It was a small stick that was hand whittled, crudely.
I was shocked.

The word 'forum" does not mean "not criticizing books."
"Ad hominem fallacy" is not the same as point by point criticism of books. If you bought the book, and believe it all, it may FEEL like an ad hominem attack, but you might strive to accept other points of view may exist.
Are we a nation of competing ideas, or a nation of forced conformity of thought?
