Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
In post #2 on this thread was a statement that "Catholics are socialists". That is as unbiased and impersonal as me saying "Moderators are satanists".
Had the statement been "some Catholics are socialists", or "many Catholics are socialists" might have made an acceptable qualification. I am a Catholic. How is that not making it personal, but commenting on an obvious display of ignorance is?

Okay, so was ansel12 getting personal with every one in this thread when he wrote:
“Over and over I see posters on this thread that are here at a conservative site, yet have zero interest in advancing conservatism in America...”
Wouldn’t he have to read EVERYONE’S mind to come to that conclusion? So, didn’t he just “make it personal” with almost every single person in this thread?
