it seems to me people are complaining a lot about personal attacks. it also seems to me most of the posts these people are saying are personal attacks are not. they are people refer and infering things from people said about their beliefs and things that they probably belief. i started this thread to show these people what a personal attack really is. i want people to post examples of what real personal attacks are. i have but one rule you cannot mention or direct your examples to another post just show the form and what might be said in a real personal attack but do not truely attack anyone cause if you do i going to have to have to attack you and you probably don't want that here i go first to show what i mean and what i am looking for you lessen all living things by your very existence. you are worthless as a human being, verdabrate hell as a living thing. the world as been made a worse place by you having been born. the world is made a dumber place each time you speak. you see how thats different form post of whats being said there is a reason for this this if directed at another poster would truely be a personal attack
Not that I can recall. I HAVE called people out on their bullshit when they used ad hominems, when trying to avoid valid arguments, because they apparently had none (which is exactly what sandy does when she complains about "Liberals" and other groups of people - before she complains about personal attacks against her).
Hahaha. I was wondering how many replies to the OP in this thread it would take before her name was mentioned. I actually figured she would have been mentioned sooner. ROFL.
I did that yesterday when I called you out on all your personal attacks against me. I had a list of at least 7 which I had researched and quoted, but it was deleted. Gee, what a surprise. Not.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
no its not a challenge i just wanted to let people know that if they tried to hijack this thread to attack people i would not condone such acts like i said make the comments impersonal
i have never personal attack you i have ok there was the one time i called you stupid but i for the most part haven't i have attacked your beliefs and ideas which i find to be vile and hateful but you not so much i find that counter-productive it tends to unrail threads
and to make a point i'm going to give what i believe to be the defenition of a person attack :the stating of a negative opinion as a fact
we are just having a discussion about your thread person attacks....... are you taking what we are saying personal now?
I did not personally attack her, I simply used a specific example. It seems you don;t really know what a personal attack is. She's absolutely right. I saw the thread. I even commented about what she said - and they WERE personal attacks. ummm. No. A personal attack is an an attack on someone's personal character, rather then their arguments. "You are stupid" is a personal attack. "That idea is stupid" is not.
This is not an attack nor an effort at derailing but it IS personal. Have you ever considered using capital letters and puncuation? That would considerably increase the readability of your posts. Look at the quote above: it's just one continous run-on and I had to read it twice to sort it out. Pretty pitiful.
sorry i am at best a horrific type and tend to type as quickly as i think i'll try and slow down in the future
I posted a really nice suggestion to him and it was deleted.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! This is getting f'n ridiculous.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Since this is a thread about personal attacks, here are some made against me by the OP: "...you should f your self"... "...yeah i'm attacking you cause i'm fed up with listening to you rant and rave without contributing anything meaningful logically to the debate"....... "sandy do you take meds for your head"... "yeah yeah you do get clue in fact get a whole box i heard they come in 20 packs at wallmart for three fifty"... "are you stupid "... And best of all: "if you think my responses were personal attacks i will glady show you what a REAL person attack is"... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I'll be the first to admit that I have launched some personal attacks against sandy - I am probably one of the worst offenders, in fact - but to deny that those are personal attacks is just dishonest, or completely ignorant of what constitutes a personal attack.
Don't just slow down, stop! Go back. Look it over. And then add commas and periods. And then capitalize the words at the beginning of each sentence. Speed isn't the important thing, clarity IS.
