" 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.

And people can do so without having to make it personal I believe.
