Personal attacks are a good way to debate, but pointing them out is not? LOL Good thinking.
I never complain about personal attacks when people disagree with me, only when they attack me personally instead of staying on point.
Management has warned people not to attack others personally. They have told me too. The poster here hits the abuse button with regularity but then attacks people himself.
If you do it, it means you can't debate, not if you call others on it.
