Why the personal attacks?

A very common phenomenon lately on FR - I notice that many of the attackers do not have a personal page - what that means I don’t know.

In fact, personal attacks are so frequent now that on some posts it is impossible to have a reasoned discussion - or any other sort.

Some say the attackers are some species of troll or another, or maybe they are just a bunch of new people - the younger poorly educated kids that believe reasoned criticism is a personal attack, never having been taught critical thinking or self-discipline, having the absolute belief in their learned correctness on every subject under the sun, entering every discussion and turning it into an argument to be won at all costs.

Difficult as it is replying or an other sort of communication with these types only seems to embolden them, as I keep learning ...

I didn’t think this was personal attack, more like a little bitch slappen
