When I used the term Bushbot it was in general and was not directed at a specific person. As such it was not a personal attack. I define Bushbot as one who can not tolerate any criticism of the POTUS. I reserve the right to define it as I choose since it is not in my dictionary. Another poster voluteered to that she was a proud Bushbot although she disagreed with the president in other areas. I responded that while she could call herself a Bushbot, I did not have to. That was the extent of my "personal attacks." And although I paraphrased in this post, I did re-read my posts and the replies re use Bushbot. And I did agreed, when asked, that Bushbot could be a pjorative, but since I didn't direct the term at an indvidual (she claimed it) it could hardly have have been a personal attack.

Corrected version. I was hurried when I posted it. My apologies. When I used the term Bushbot it was in general and was not directed at a specific person. As such it was not a personal attack. I define Bushbot as one who can not tolerate any criticism of the POTUS. I reserve the right to define it as I choose since it is not in my dictionary. Another poster voluteered that she was a proud Bushbot although she disagreed with the president in some areas. I responded that while she could call herself a Bushbot, since she did not fit my definition of Bushbot, I did not have to call her one. That was the extent of my "personal attacks." And although I paraphrased in this post, I did re-read my posts and the replies re use of Bushbot. And I did agree, when asked, that Bushbot could be a pjorative, but since I didn't direct the term at an indvidual (she claimed it herself) it could hardly have have been a personal attack.

I have no idea why you addressed this yawn of a post to me.
