False.  I'm posting with the name of Samuel, yet I could be female.  You 
don't know, until you actually meet me.  Until further evidence presents 
itself, you have to take it on faith that I am, in fact, male.

For the purposes of the conversation at hand, however, Stephan made a 
totally baseless statement, one which can be interpreted easily as 
ad-hominem.
