I admire Colonel Sanders but did not see the article as personal attacks against him. On the other hand I have moved Debbie Schussel into the unethical arument collumn. I eat at kentucky Fried Chicken and my family owns stock in Yum! but this tactic of not adddressing the actual complaints and instead making ugly attacks on Anderson is just really sad. But I guess it was suscccessful since got a bunch of Freepers to join in . Actually, I was more talking about PA against Colonel Sanders. This soils the name of a person who should be celebrated. He was a good genuine person who never gave up his dream.
As far as personal attacks, you have a GOOD point. It's not usually a tactic of mine to do, though I often make jokes/sarcasm about something.
Being a teacher, I see what you are talking about ALL the time (especially here). I do try to make sure I don't respond the same way. Thanks for the reminder.

Given you (perfectly understandable) admiration of Colonel Sanders it's totally reasonable to object to attacks against him and to be tempted to respond in kind.
Its just that at Freep we see a dozen emotional appeals a day and we need to maintain some critical evaluation. I appreciate your response.
