In any event, glad that Dovster's posts helped clarify the matter for you.
When it is direct personal attacks (for the pure sake of attacking) and not criticism yes it is pretty unqualified. Let me use myself as an example. It is no secret I dont like Mr. Parker (at us scareways *smile*). I do not feel it is wrong in a post about the sitation for me to say I think the man is crazy and should never have put his mitts on DL *grin*. However I think it would be INCREDIBLY wrong for me to have a signature that says "Doug Parker is a drunk, brainless, moron" even if I really think that and there is evidence to the fact! It is low class and I think it is wrong it is ok just because he doesnt post on FT
