That's ad hominem, but for a theme. Ad themium.

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.

Hmm, 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".

I'm not sure being part of Svbtle lends anyone any "credibility".

If only you had read/quoted just one more sentence, you would find we agree. :)

Ouch, you're right. I'm an idiot, sorry.
