Since you brought it up, yes, you would have been the main person that came to my mind when I spoke of personal attacks.

Interesting point of view. I was speaking my mind freely in several threads. You posted that my grasp on reality was fragile. You later called me a mindless apologist.

Am I not entitled to my views and thoughts on the issues, even if they don't conform with your views?
Rather than question why I have an opinion on an issue, you used a personal attack meant to belittle me. WHY? What did the forum gain from that? What did the thread gain from that?
"Heat" as you refer to it would be if you were asking me a very pointed question on my opinions. "Heat" is not calling someone mindless or making fun of them in other ways.
So if I can be allowed to "speak MY mind freely", then the personal attacks should have no place in the forum. If you disagree with something I say, call me on it. Ask me for the foundation of my believe, rather than call me mindless or anything else.
You clearly don't like Bush and his politics. I respect your right to have that opinion. You lost respect when you resorted to many of the off color statements you posted in response to my posts. Rather than question my opinion you question me as a person.
Once again, how does that advance the forum or the thread?
