As opposed to the more INTELLIGENT leftbots that make personal attacks in every post in order to divert attention from what ever the issue is.
I don't have any problem with a little name calling and some pointed jabbing. That is expected and can actually be a little fun. I actually enjoy it when RSR makes outrageous statements about libs (sometimes referring to myself), and I have on occasion referred to a poster as "stupid." I have seen far worse. However, these are always in the context of an actual discussion.
I believe that the previous post went beyond what constitutes reasonable good taste. It was nearly entirely an insult. It referred to his personal life (although I have no idea if any of the things he said were true), and his family. It was neither playful nor appropriate in context - it was just mean-spirited.
Were the post to have been directed at you, I believe I would have responded the same.
