    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.

      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?

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

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

        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

                                      with all respect ... I respectfully disagree :) as he is asking very politely about the subject ... this question is not moronic at all ... ;)

                                        Not necessarily. I *could* be arguing in my spare time.

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

                                          Still, I prefer to get straight to the point instead of beating around the bush. I don't mind some little offenses when this gets frustration out of the way and leads us to the actual problem. This really works well with the right people, but unfortunately most turn such things into personal wars.

                                          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.
