If I talk about our
congresscritters, that technically is an ad hominem attack against the entire Congress. It is not against the rules of this board, to attack the Congress. What is against the rules is
ad hominem abusive, or
argumentum ad personam.
However, the term,
congresscritters, is also an invective, and as such is against the rules of this section (the L&CR forum) of TFL.

Since the general noise level seems to be on the rise...
