    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.

      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?

      "You are a moron" "your statement is moronic" Have you been reading an exchange between munchies_matt and A Griffen in the Soapbox?

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

          Is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?

            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
