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

        A: "You are a moron" Answer: "Your mother ****** **** ***** ***** ******** *****" A: "Your statement is moronic" Answer: "Your understanding of the problem is akin to a fish trying to learn free climbing, anyway prove it"

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

                      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?

                                  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.

                                        Personally, I would not use either. It is not polite!

                                          yes, it's not polite. If you have an issue slap him [lightly of course] with a glove [emoji].
