Bring the post to my attention and I will review it.

A poster may say "I think you are x" and that is not making it personal because he is not reading your mind but revealing his own. Likewise, if he says "You are x" that is not making it personal because he is speaking his own mind, not yours.

If he is in error, responding "Not so" or "Untrue" or "That statement is false" is not making it personal. But responding "you are a liar" would be making it personal because the word "lie" means there was an intent to deceive.

I can and do intervene to keep posters from "making it personal" but there is nothing I can do to keep posters from "taking it personally."

So I can call everyone I disagree with here a Scientologist just cause I think they are? cool.
