An FA may find "FA's are idiots" offensive, but it is not a personal attack. I may find "New Yorkers are idiots" offensive, but that is not a personal attack. Someone could post "People suck," does that make it a personal attack?
I'm surprised that you would be saying that, anonplz. Being offensive to somebody's career isn't seen as a personal attack by you? I'm amazed you see it that way. Dov's remarks above show at least to me that classifying something offensive to a class/group of people is attacking them on a personal level. Nevertheless, offensive remarks go against the TOS so even if we disagree, the fact remains that we shouldn't see any of it in FT.
