[edit]

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Your commentary on Talk:Histrionic personality disorder amounts to a personal attack--"a pile of uncited, irrelevant, feminist drivel" etc., that's simply not acceptable.

Drmies, please refer to argumentum ad hominem. It will properly define for you a personal attack. Your citation, "a pile of uncited, irrelevant, feminist drivel," is actually a description of the argument, not of the person who argued it. In the future, it may be advantageous for you to quote the part that may actually be abusive to the writer, "Not only has she clearly misunderstood the point..." and beyond that realize even that is not a personal attack but rather an astute observation of the motives of a POV-pushing editor. Your commentary on User talk:Brokencurio amounts to lexiconic ignorance--"Please do not attack other editors" etc., that's simply not acceptable. TheIdleProphet (talk) 10:38, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
