Some people think that anything remotely describable as a 'personal attack' should be heaved over the side. Some contributors thoroughly deserve to be poked occasionally, life is like that, conversation in t'pub are like that. Calling someone f[expletiv]ly useless isn't on, suggesting that they are being irritating and picky is fine; particularly if they are being irritating and picky ..........

Personal attacks are fine unless they get very personal, and most never get anywhere near that.
