The Question and Answer Board

[AKvetch]

From what I sense here, 'organizational defensive mechanism' have kicked in for many posters which, have caused them to react defensively toward my original question, that being; “what constitutes a personal attack?".

A "personal attack" is defined in the User Agreement. See #msg-3760203

This seems like the logical place to have that discussion. If you can recommend a better venue, I would be happy to explore it.

Because Matt wrote the User Agreement, he's the one to change it. At this point, why not make your case to him privately? He doesn't seem interested in engaging you further on this board.

If you sense "organizational defensive mechanism" perhaps it is because you are not only beating a dead horse, but are continuing to drag it around the corral.

BTW, you can delete posts for other than "personal attack". Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the User Agreement. It is clear that you have not done that yet.

Good luck.
