    During online chat/discussion If make this statement "You are a moron" = That's a personal attack. but then if I say "Your statement is moronic" = Is this still a personal attack or not?

      In itself, not necessarily, though it may depend on the wider context under which the statement is made - i.e. what's been said before.

        Well the second statement does tend to imply the first. Would a sensible person make a moronic statement?

          At least this way this question is left open.

          I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

              True, so it's up to the recipient to decide whether to take offence or not.

                  I daresay the first statement is more aggressive, whatever the second implies. Thus it is more of a personal attack.

                  ... such stuff as dreams are made on

                                        During online chat/discussion If make this statement "You are a moron" = That's a personal attack. but then if I say "Your statement is moronic" = Is this still a personal attack or not?

                                        cheers,
