Let's compare and contrast, shall we?
condemned view........................................... personal insult
question is agenda-driven................................ He is agenda-driven (admittedly, not much of an insult)
thread title is disingenuous.....................................He is disingenuous (Even saying, "he is being disingenuous," isn't an insult as it is a temporary state of being)
benefit of doubt of laziness..................................... He's lazy (benefit of doubt defends that he is in fact NOT lazy)
not to presume this topic is supposed to make sense..... There's no personal insult there. This is Cito afterall... he's the skeptic's skeptic. He begins all interpretations of text as meaningless drivel. LOL
In all those cited cases the work is being attacked, not the individual. "Yellow Submarine" was pure shite (my opinion), but that in no way is an attack on the Beatles.
