What I said was that there's a difference between attack on one hand and criticism perceived as insult on the other.

For you, that is a pivotal difference. As I explained in my reply to you, my goal is to shut off anything that provokes food fights and raises tempers here.

If a criticism is so pointed and personal that it is perceived as an insult, it probably shouldn't be made, in the interests of maintaining a calm and interesting forum.

The offense in question was someone who told someone else they disagreed with that they needed to be educated. If all of us can call the others stupid and ignorant because they disagreed, we go exactly nowhere.

I'll add for everyone's benefit that if you (meaning anyone) think you have anger management issues, just don't post here. Don't go down that road and end up with me trying to calm the waters that should not have been roiled in the first place.

Some folks don't like those restrictions and that atmosphere. Good for them. I do.
