I saw your response to ears about making it personal. Could you give me some guidance on how my post could be taken personal? As far as I can tell, I was (personally) attacked, and simply responded by pointing out the presumption of the attacker. Guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You presume much, Mr. C.

This is reading the mind of another poster, which is "making it personal."

Several here have found it helpful to review the use of pronouns before hitting post.

For instance, "your statement is incoherent" is not making it personal whereas "you are incoherent" is. And, as in the above, "That's too many presumptions for me, Mr. C." would not be making it personal.
