This has been proven many times. Why would anyone respond to someone like this, when the most likely scenario is that the post will be deleted as a "personal attack".
"Jeez, they said I have no understanding whatsoever. That's a personal attack!"


Not really. Not having an understanding of something, does not necessarily indicate a personal defect, but mearly indicates a lack of knowledge about a particular topic. The root cause may have nothing to do with the persons abilities, but such blatent inaccuracies depicted in the post, either indicates a complete lack of understanding of the particular topic, or else a willful attempt to deceive. I asumed the former. While commenting on the latter, would certainly be a personal attack, pointing out that a blatent inaccuracy indicates the poster has a complete lack of understanding, and pointing to a web document that would explain such things, is actually an attempt to educate, and IMO, does not fall under the TOS guidelines of a personal attack.

Of course, people should feel free to report it as a TOS if they so desire.

[edit] FYI, Links to all posts on this specific topic, have been forwarded to IH Admin Matt, along with a request for feedback on TOS disposition. I'll let the board know of any response.
