Re: without subject ...but let's give it one..personal attacks
But Paul, You rascal, what is a personal attack? (no answer, please)
Defending perceived victims who have not requested assistance.........
We have gray feet drawing gray lines in gray sand.
Picasso's favorite color.
Those that see the world as black and white are the ones that scare me.
Thanks for expressing you views.

In your post of this AM (Sept 11, 8:56) , without subject, you
indicated
that the example provided by Joe Halinar fits your earlier definition
of
a personal attack. Please do not consider that if I disagree with you,
that this is an attack on you. It is a disagreement about your
opinion.(
I think we agree on this). I disagree with your opinion because of the
following reasons.

I do not know why I am making a response- I have used restraint during
this
whole episodic event because I am not informed enough about what is
happening
behind all the "actions" and words and most importantly I am not in a
position to have any lasting effect.
Being that I have am up and maybe because I am not fully awake and have
not
given due consideration to my now current actions. I am making a
response.
Jim I would have to say the above statement by you uses bad reasoning.
The post you refer too was as personal as they come-Now whether it is
based
on truth or if it was justified makes no difference on WHAT it was.
What we do, and why we do it are not the same and the reason we do
something
does not change what we do.
In most cases, any time a negative destructive term is applied to a
person,
this is going to be rightly called a "Personal Attack." The actual or
perceived cause of the "attack" or justification for the use of those
descriptive terms has no bearing on whether it was an attack or not.
