How far is too far when attacking anothers post?
Is it ever acceptable to use personal attacks in a forum setting?
Can a poster win a point by using rudeness?
Isn't it better to ignore rudeness than to respond with rudeness?
These are some questions I ask myself after reading posts from otherwise intelligent people.

I personally like responding to thinly-veiled rudeness and condescension with thinly-veiled rudeness, myself.
