You can just say "I disagree" and get slammed for a personal attack. This can be
said to be a personal attack! When a person takes the time to post he might feel
his effort is wasted when his post is dumped. Sometimes the personal attack is
in the eyes of the beholder. I won't leave CCC, but this is my last post. I do
not like to be accused of a personal attack when one was NOT MADE and one was
not intended. I just disagreed. How? You will never know, the post was busted.
