This entire thread should be reported.
Completely ridiculous the behavior that's being allowed to go on here, the senseless targeting of a board member for no reason.
Hopefully you all are smart enough to see the obvious fallacies in what you're saying, but I'm not sure some of you are.
I do not see any personal attacks - are there any in this thread?
I do not see any threats or targetting of a person - are there any in this thread?
I see a lot of parody of words and analysis. And the parody fits really well.
I do see in the quoted words above a statement about posters - how smart or not smart they are - an ad hominem attack on a broad group of posters.
The whole thread is a personal attack and you know it.
And no it doesn't fit very well unless you have a very loose grip on both logic and reality.
As I understand the term "personal attack" it means an attack on the person as a person. It does not mean an attack or parody of what a person has said or on arguments and analysis that a person has made.
If personal attack includes disagreements, parody and mockery of a person's analysis, then any debate consists entirely of personal attacks, which is not how I understand the term.
Personal attack is about ad hominem - things like you are stupid, you are of a certain background, you are .....etc. That is my view and I dont see it here. Personal attack does not mean any post that makes a certain poster unhappy because it challenges or parodies what he has said.
