Randy,

Would you please clarify what is deemed a "Personal Attack"?

Is it a "Personal Attack" to state that an airlines F/A's are lazy?
Is it a "Personal Attack" to state that an airlines Pilots are greedy?
Is it a "Personal Attack" to state that Frequent Flyers are spoiled?
Is it a "Personal Attack" to state that TSA Screeners are thugs?
Is it a "Personal Attack" to state that a hotel chains front desk clerks are poorly trained?

I have seen the above statements made on FT MANY times and do not think that any of the above are "Personal Attacks". However, lately I have seen members complain that since they are an employee in the mentioned broad category, that said statement is a personal attack. I disagree. In my opinion, a "Personal Attack" is exactly as stated, it is an attack on a singular member.

Thanks in adavnce for your comments on this issue.
