Personally, I think if people adhered to the advice in the OT forum: "Remember to stick to discussing issues, not members. Personal attacks will not be tolerated.", half of the problems would dissipate. Far too often people disagree with others' comments and/or opinions and wield it as a weapon against them personally rather than discussing it maturely.

Of course, there seems to be quite a wide interpretation of what a "personal attack" is, so clarification on what constitues a "personal attack" would be in order. It seems that some cannot distinguish between commentary, critcism, and/or personal attacks.
