Dorothy Mantooth is a Saint!

Asking someone not to make a personal attack is a personal attack?

Hm, I don't get the logic here. One poster (Ruluo) diverts from 98 pages of cordial discussion. I noted as such in saying that it's "not nice" to call someone's idea naive, and to post argumentative statements if we don't want to argue. That is all pretty straightforward and objective. Ruluo's intention was to "blast" the ideas of someone else. They shouldn't get a free pass to sidetrack the sentiment of the thread. HITLER! There we go, we've hit Godwin's Law. We can reset the discussion to Fulbright stuff.

Yeah, but that doesn't excuse Ruluo posting basically a personal attack on someone (I think we can all agree it is not nice to tell someone their outlook is naive) and then an odd statement about not wanting to start an argument, promptly followed by argumentative statements. So, let's avoid the political, but also the personal and argumentative.
