I think that's a good example of the personal slurs and insults that are not appropriate for any of the Religion forums, open or otherwise.

Oh no no no. It is not personal, as it was not directed at any specific person(s).

Those who insist on making general statements "personal" are thin-skinned and they are the disruptors on an open thread.

Ah, interesting perspective.

It seems that if I want to call someone stupid, I just wait until someone else posts a reply to that person, and then reply to THAT poster saying “some people are just stupid”.

And if the other poster thinks THEY are that “some person”, well, they are taking a general statement and making it personal.

Do I understand correctly?
