Note -- 341 is where I pointed out you repeating a lie. There is a difference.

RM -- I note that 364 is not removed yet despite this being a direct personal insult,against Forum rules

Saying that another poster is a liar is "making it personal" because it attributes motive, the intent to deceive. It is "making it personal."

Saying that a statement is false, wrong or in error is not "making it personal" because it does not attribute motive.

Saying another poster is repeating a lie is not "making it personal" for the same reason - HOWEVER - it is making the thread "about" the other poster, which can be "making it personal" if you persist in the accusation.
