So yes according to the dictionary I used the correct word, and that my comparison is apt. Even the example exactly nails what you did. You weren't countering any points - you were attacking the person and thier statement.
Attempts to play semantic games - such as "is it really an attack" - are generally the last vestige of a dying argument. Specially with coupled with petty comments like "get your reading and comprehension right".
Just like in the other thread - I can see there is nothing to be gained by talking to someone who rather attack the person than the point. So I will be abandoning this thread for higher grounds - because it appears to be sinking quickly.

So in your own words, I might as well blow someone up, knock them out and it would have the same weight as criticizing reviewers' opinion on a forum.
Higher ground? LOL, your comparison couldn't even take flight. Attacking someone's opinion is different from attacking a person. Capisce.
And I agree on your abandoning thread cause you didn't add any substance to it.

Bandorr is right. Amusing read though Goaty boy and you comments are full of irony. Anyway, that's my two pennies. Moving on!
