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?

Ah hah! Well if I didn't pay, why are you arguing??? Ah HAAAAAAHHH! Gotcha!

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

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.

A little more style, please. What happened to whacking a glove into someone's face and saying something like 'You, sir, are a scoundrel and a fool. Choose your weapons!'

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.
Here's some context:
- Dude purports to be against personal attacks and condemns people who are even mildly abusive (e.g. using the word 'fuck' in a sentence).
- Then dude personally attacks someone else, and then justifies it
Leftist, hypocritical codswallop, in other words. Personal attack here: Re: Intellectual Joker exasperating farrago of distortions[^] Justification in several places, but here's a notable one: Re: Intellectual Joker exasperating farrago of distortions[^] Just read those threads if you would like to see some so called "exasperating farrago". Do so at your own risk. :)
