    I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid.

              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?

                        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.

                                          On the internet, EVERYTHING is a personal attack. Besides, if the person really is a moron then they wouldn't understand there is a difference between the 2 statements anyway. So a true moron will definitely take both statements as a personal insult.
