Misidentification of fallacy.  I'd already made the point that it's relevant 
to one of the groups to which the OP posted, namely clj.programmer.  The 
"programmer" part of that means that it's not about the language as such, but 
the skills needed to use it effectively.  I had argued that the question is 
relevant there.  The appeal to sympathy is to show that the line was being 
drawn arbitrarily fine.  Nowhere am I suggesting that the discussion veer from 
the subject of the newsgroup,  I only suggest that people not be such 
namby-pamby nitpickers and be so doggedly exclusionary.

So while you show off your Latin quite nicely, it's irrelevant.

I don't know where your "here" is, but in this thread I'm arguing against the 
people who are NOT being "so helpful".

And also the OP is being invited EXACTLY to continue to post "here" for one 
value of "here".  You unsympathetic so-and-so.  (Ad hominem - in case you want 
to show off more Latin.)
