May I pose a question? I'll use a (hopefully) neutral example:

If an "ecumenical" thread includes a Buddhist, and in response to the Buddhist's claims about the truth and goodness of Buddhism someone posts that Gautama Buddha was a liar, a thief, an adulterer and (in general) a moral monster, then is the poster who is attacking the person of Gautama Buddha being "antagonistic"?

IOW, are ad hominem attacks directed against persons who are not participants on FR allowed?
