Pesonal attacks.

[FLS]

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 is an important issue that a lot of people have trouble with. People confuse what they do with what they are. This is especially important when raising children so I'll use that as an example. When a child does something wrong some parents will tell the child that they are bad. The child learns to identify themselves as bad which obviously causes problems later on. Other parents will tell the child that what they did was bad and that good children don't do that. This let's the child identify themselves as good, and reinforces the idea that good children behave a certain way and don't do bad things.

Now if you think that's idiotic you may express that opinion, but if you want people to agree then you may have to explain why you have that opinion.

again, what constitutes a "personal attack" can be subjective. Some things are obvious but other things, like honest, harsh criticism, are harder to definitely label.

Don't you think Skuzzy has the mind to determine what clearly constitutes a personal attack? I got bounced once and I deserved it. 

[W7LPNRICK]

Individuals have been singled out on this board and personally attacked for years and years with no help given to those attacked and no price to pay for the offenders.

I wonder what has happened to finally awaken the sleeping giants at HQ.

I think authority is somewhat lenient when the Squeaker/Newb's behaviors bring it upon themselve....i.e. The Late D.W., N.8., and a few others...you reap what you sow. Having said that, anyone can step over the line of common humane decency if you try hard enough.

"I'm not calling you a moron, but everything you type and say is moronic."

 

How would that not be a personal attack?

or this?


I think I made my point, yes huh.

[Butcher]

criticizing someone's play style isn't a personal attack in my opinion, personal insults and criticizing a player is a personal attack.

That being said, everyone's guilty of it - in which its mostly minor - I rarely have seen anyone go "LT" on someone else.

  Fight authority, authority always wins.

I understand your point and I agree with you to a point. But most players are adults and thus should be defined by their behavior. Sure people can change, but most are not 'learning' from their mistakes, here, they are just repeating them, over and over and over.

That all depends what you point is? Because I can think of many things you  have shown with your post.

If you think the forums are bad, you should log in the game as a shade, Hitech.

 his head would explode.

[BowHTR]

Is it okay to call vtards vtards?

I would say that is an attack, if i understand correctly from the following quote.

Bashing a squad is a personal attack.

bashing a playing style is not.

I.E. Squad X Your style sucks.

VS Squad x you suck because of how you play.

Exactly BowHtr. I don't understand what all the debate is about. I thought HiTech made it clear in his post one page one. Now here we are on page 11 trying to find loopholes to get around it. 

[Delirium]

On second thought, I'm not touching this thread. Not even with the remains of the last Spitfire I just shot down.

Some of the questions are good questions.  I asked about the squad issue because I never get attacked personally on the forum, but a few people will verbally attack my squad when they don't like what I have to say about something.
