How is that not a personal attack? If I said that I think your thought on not classifying that as a personal attack is idiotic, would that be fair game?
I'm not saying that though.
This points out an interesting problem these days. To argue a persons idea, or call it foolish, stupid et,c isn't an attack on the person, just the idea. People need to learn the difference.
if I HiTech is stupid, that's a personal attack.
If I say HiTechs decision the hire Scuzzy is stupid, then that's attacking the idea, not the man. Well, I guess it does kinda attack Scuzzy.
