[r]personal attack in friday thread

Postby Greater vakolicci haven » Mon Sep 23, 2019 12:19 pm

I don't see how that was a personal attack. I was going after the argument

I know you weren't attacking me, I'm not who the posts were aimed at. We'll let the mods decide on the merits.

No, you weren't. You called Kernen "selfish." That's attacking the poster, not the post.

Second opinion: it's attacking the poster, not the argument.

"That attitude is selfish" is ok. "You are selfish" is not.
