In this post, you show what may be an inkling of insight.
Take it a step or two farther.
Think about why “personal attacks” are forbidden: to prevent flame wars; because they're flame-bait.
Think why they cause flame wars, why they're flame-bait. Because many people are most offended when directly attacked. This is ESPECIALLY true when the attack has a good deal of truth about it. If someone is an embezzler, and you call him a glutton, he'll laugh it off, especially if he's six feet tall and weighs 180 lbs. But if you attack him as a thief, it will strike most deeply (and most accurately), and he is more likely to be offended, especially if he has any number of defense mechanisms telling him why his sin isn't a sin (”I'm underpaid and unappreciated, I DESERVE the money I take...” and so on).
But now think that perhaps not everyone is most offended by a direct attack on them. If you call ME a glutton, even though the attack is just, I'll just chuckle. “Yes,” I'll say, “I already know that.” And if you call me an embezzler, I'll laugh even harder. As I own the business, it would be difficult to show that I embezzle from... myself. LOL.
For many, if you really want to start a flame war, if you really want to throw out flame-bait, then you should attack, mock, ridicule and denigrate what they hold sacred. Don't just argue against the belief, using reason and logic, Scripture or whatever else you want to bring to the table. Twist language to insult, to degrade the things that such a person holds holy. THEN you can cause some REALLY GOOD flame wars with the person!

outrageous flame bating thread titles, posts, attitudes, fantasies, fabricated history, fabricated theology, fabricated accusations; fabricated idolatries, fabricated blasphemies, fabricated heresies, etc.
