If I understood the RM’s guidance and my intent in the last post, expressed use of the familiar 2nd person in the posts to convey an adversarial position tends to make the post personal.

A similar meaning expressed in the 3rd person, impersonal formal, would not qualify as ‘making it personal’.

ok, so all members of Cvengr’s group are crazy, white-hanky worshippers of a monkey god and are not Christians. Don’t you think that is personal?
