Yes, I was referring to the "I'm the only one who's ever swung a Renaissance sword, so you guys don't know anything about the historical development of cavalry swords" type of argument. And I probably was applying the term too broadly.By the way, it's only "ad hominem" when the personal attack is fallaciously used as the premise of an argument (you're an idiot, so what you say is wrong). Simply insulting someone is not "ad hominem".
