Alan is off his rocker.
To me, this sort of ad hominen comment is anti-productive and out-of-place in technical discussion.

It's better than yours.
This is a technical claim that can be debated.
Talk is cheap.
Though slightly indirect, this strikes me (as well as the target) as an ad hominen slap that detracts from the technical argument in the rest of the post. See comment above. I do my best to restrain and censor such add-on comments and recommend the same to others, for both personal and public benefit.
