If debates were objective, humanity would agree about everything for a long time. Debates are highly subjective, especially because many people cannot even try to be objective since they are neurotic, hence pathologically subjective.
Can you accept that reality?
Intellectual exchange and debate has nothing whatsoever to do with personal attacks. I agree that debates are highly subjective, but to debase another one intellectually does not win your arguments.

Anyway, it's not the way we are discussing here. So you have two choices:

1 You stop your personal attacks
2 You're looking for new hunting grounds.

So, be advised that you are under close scrutiny. For the others: This is not a personal mood swing either. Please be aware that we won't tolerate any personal attacks.
