"FA's are idiots" is a personal attack on any FA reading it.
While it is a personal attack, it is deemed as perfectly acceptable on FT - so long as no single FT member is singled out.

Using that guideline, none of the examples mentioned by CameraGuy are considered personal attacks under FT's rules. Unless said attack is deemed to be offensive or repugnant to politically correct speech codes, it doesn't count if it's directed at no one in particular (despite the fact that several FT members may be personally offended).
