I di not attack you personally, the grammar statement is just a tedious education point. A personal attack might have read: It is the data are ... you idiot”. Or perhaps, I could call you the Mengele of grammar — as I have been called Mengele several times. I urge you to understand the difference between personal, and corrective.

Additionally, you may choose to believe that I was referring to you as becoming increasingly unhinged, but it was a general reference, and it is entirely within the realm of possible that I was not even referring to you. General statements are not personal attacks.

You did attack me personally.
