I’d invert this. Typically the person who personalizes it is trying to start a flame war, so the best way to avoid one is to walk away as soon as the OTHER person says “you”.

To: Jim Robinson
Yes that is when it goes personal, becomes about the poster instead of the issues. The final default action is the ad hominem.

The first time I ever came across such advice was in a book by Ben Franklin. Great advice.

Dear Jim,
This is how i begin my responses, most of the time.
When i make a reply, to another freeper posting,
i address them directly, with statement in question,
poised as an ‘re:’
‘You’ is very ambiguous.

I find an occasional “nugatory” or “didgeridoo” useful for flame control.

(I see puppy dogs in the clouds)
To: Jim Robinson
This subject is, from a distance, humorous.
To me it is like two starving men at a buffet fighting it out over which is better, the roast beef or the turkey.
And I might add the ‘perfect’ is the enemy of the ‘great’.
