"Seems to me that a general dislike of people, even a misanthrope, is more acceptable than a dislike of a specific people" Dear Karen...I do not have a "general dislike" of people. I was arguing a position. I do have a "general dislike" of racism, torture, slavery, and people who fly planes into buildings . But those dislikes are very specific, and well defined.

I agree with Solon here. He is not attacking people; he is attacking a set of opinions and beliefs. When richie posts his "Hitler, Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot are all rightists and all rightists are their accomplices", should I consider that a personal attack and report him to Jeff? Do you think Jeff would do anything? I consider most of what Solon has done to be fair. Most of what he has done is to simply quote their own holy book at them. How can that be unfair?
