[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jamat: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Barnabas62: [qb] Nick Tamen is right. Purg Guideline 1, which is an amplification of Commandment 3, says this. [QUOTE][b]1. No personal attacks[/b] We all have different opinions about weighty matters, some strongly held. Disagree with the view, not the person. The statement, "View X is stupid," is acceptable. The statement, "Person X is stupid," is not.[/QUOTE]Both posts are a variation on the theme "your post is stupid". The tone of both might well provoke a call to Hell, of course, since both comments are pretty derogatory. But both got a pass from me. [/qb][/QUOTE]I hear what you are saying. I disagree with your interpretation of the commandment. As one who is often the odd one out here, I am very aware that unpopular views are often denigrated with personal put downs. Once I would have accepted this is the way SOF works. Now I think this policy works against the discussion and has created the ship into a left wing echo chamber where people with contrary views simply walk away. A few hang in but they are few. Is this what you want? It is also inconsistent. I am 'delusional' because I disagree with Mr Cheesy, I am 'Nasty' because I call Gamaliel 'tedious'? 'I am personally denigrated by Lil Buddha as having 'bulging' eyes and tufts of inappropriate hair. Even in the hell board this kind of abuse is not OK in my view. You need to look to your house.
