Hi I was reading your post about personal attacks, to avoid personal attacks is just how it sounds. Avoid using the word "you". If someone wants to point something out as being hypocritical, they should use language such as that was a hypocritical statement, not you are a hypocrite. Calling someone a hypocrite implies they are a hypocrite in general, and not just being a hypocrite about a certain topic. ANDREA MARTIN

Yep, very true. If only people weighed their words before posting a lot of problems could be avoided. A lot of people refuse to apologize too, but I think apologies can help a lot to stop arguments.
