Anyone who does not wish to be personally the subject of discussion should refrain from making himself personally the subject of discussion.

When a poster makes himself the subject of the thread then he has increased the likelihood of the thread being locked or pulled due to unrelenting personal remarks, e.g. "childish behavior."

Thanks, but you didn't respond to the whole of my comment.

If a member of this forum claims personal authority (as I outline in #50):

Has he, or has he not "made it personal"?

Is challenging the legitimacy of said claim to authority a form of "making it personal"?

Sometimes

it seems like there’s a deliberate, if not co-ordinated attack of such comments by ‘naysayers’ for the sole purpose of getting a thread they disagree with locked.
