For example, while my goal isnt to argue with others here -- those who think differently can be rewarding to talk with -- Ive had a few shadows over the years. Most have been tomb-stoned. But a few are definitely solid Democrats; we simply do not like each other. In one current case, its an intelligent, well-meaning but terribly bitter fellow, with a rather severe borderline personality disorder. He has cycles of accepting that we will never converse again, and then compulsively adding little bitter comments to my threads, like a nasty little Chihuahua peeing on a rug.
This reads to me as a potential attack. I would take someone claiming I have a borderline personality disorder as an attack. It certainly treads the line of META too.
