Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Understood, but sometimes the subject matter involves the correctness of personal judgement. In that case, is the person who is making a personal judgement as an interpretation of scripture making it personal, or is the person calling them on their personal judgement making it personal?
I'm not being facetious - that was literally the religious subject matter of this disagreement.
Sometimes the rules of the forum and the religious subject matter itself clashes and it's not a clear call, but that does not necessarily indicate an intent to "make it personal." For example, in this case I don't think either of us intended to "make it personal," we just both strongly feel the other is wrong about the religious issue of making things personal.
But like I said, understood.
