"Jim Jones is crazy" is not making it personal. "You are crazy" is making it personal.
The basic forms of "making it personal" are mind reading, attributing motives and making the thread "about" an individual Freeper.
The guideline on the Religion Forum is: Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
"Personal attacks" are not allowed anywhere on Free Republic. They are much worse than "making it personal" and include such things as insults and threats. "You're a slack jawed drunk" is a "personal attack."
