No, FR has a no personal attacks policy. This is about as blatant as it gets. If you don't like something another FReeper wrote, then don't stop to call her HYSTERICAL and her writing a piece of crapp. Neither of those comments contributes to an intellectual debate. If you have nothing to say except to insult the poster, then move on.

Oh, sorry...we're supposed to agree with the content because another Freeper wrote it!

Ahhh...okay thanks.

Next time I write an article, I'll just say (I'm a Freeper) after my by-line, and then BINGO...I won't get any criticism in my editors mail-box. Woo-hoo! Thanks a million. The secret to editorial success!

Well stated. I can't believe the "piling on" by those two. If that is all they could say, then I feel they should have moved on to the next libertarian thread.

I didn't see any personal attacks. If somebody posts an article about somebody's actions they are seeking opinions on those actions. If somebody thinks those actions were hysterical, I see no need to run off and call the moderator to step in. You might try changing their mind if you disagree with their assessment. Or just ignore them if you like.

If you're truly offended by personal attacks, maybe you should sic the moderator on ButThreeLeftsDo, who has apparently decided that she is a drunk because of her nationality. That's what a personal attack looks like.

Perhaps you should read what was written, which is that the actions of the person in the article were hysterical, not you.

And the article (not that of you or any Freeper) was described as "crap."

Calling such critism "personal attacks" is pretty silly.
