Zoe, a personal attack is where you attack the *person*. For example, by calling them "liars".
It was not *me* who did that.
I wrote about the personal attack that was directed AGAINST ME. You are blaming the victim in this case - review the history and you will see this without the slightest shadow of doubt.
What I posted just now was a DEFENCE against the personal attack made on me. And you will note that despite considerable provocation, at no point did I attack the person who attacked me, simply reported his actions factually in the most unemotional way I could.
