He or she can use the term subconsciously and cannot use the term unconsciously? I fail to see the distinction.Please explain.

It appears that you don’t get what *making it personal* is, since I recall seeing you confused about it before.

*Making it personal* to the moderator is wording something in a manner that indicates you know what the person is thinking or deliberately doing, IOW, you know the motive behind what they’re doing, or what they were thinking when they made their comment.

A direct comment like *you ignore* is attributing motive, implying that you know what the person is thinking. (post 159)

In post 144, Iscool said *You probably do it subconsciously... *, which is just guessing at what’s going on inside your head.

Flat out out statements of *you do such and such*, or *you know* or some sort of thing, are making it personal.

It’s also a focus on the poster instead of what they said.

It takes a while to get the sense of when someone is making it personal and even veterans of the RF sometimes slip and get caught up in it in the heat of the moment.

The post 144 to which you replied was expressing the poster's opinion:

You probably

Your reply 159 to that post was mind reading:

you ignore

Conscious, subconscious and unconscious have nothing to do with it.
