Please don't do this on HN. personal attacks are not welcomed on this website.

  Calling someone an asshole is not a personal attack. A personal attack is attacking someone's character instead of their argument. I'm not saying he's wrong because he's an asshole, I'm saying he's wrong and he's an asshole.

    A personal attack is not justified because you disagree with someone. Again, please stop doing this on HN.

    In my view - which I expect is shared by at least some others - saying that another poster is an asshole is a personal attack whether or not it has anything to do with their argument.
