Me thinks that a conjecture about you being off your meds is justified 
by the complete, total non sequitur of your response. Try lithium and, 
as suggested elsewhere, get your hand out of your pants when responding. 
The response you criticized was not ad hominem, it was a concern for 
your well being since you seem more and more nuts. Just say thank you.
