I don't know that it's an ad hominem argument because there was no argument made--only an observation.
I didn't realize he was not part of svbtle, but it does seem like he's trying to claim credibility he hasn't earned by styling his blog as if he were a member. Svbtle is new enough that I don't know if there's much associated credibility, but still.
None of this is relevant to his point, which may as well be made as part of a chorus. Lots of people don't see the value.
- StavrosK 14y agoHmm, that's a fair argument, but I think there's a difference between "the author isn't actually an part of svbtle" and what the GP said. I understood his implied argument as more like "he shouldn't be criticizing app.net because he ripped off the blog theme".

- damncabbage 14y agoOuch, you're right. I'm an idiot, sorry.
