Sorry, you're right. I've edited it to be about the behavior instead of the person.

- tptacek 7y agoFrom the comment I see right now and the logic you're using here, "have you stopped beating your wife" wouldn't qualify as a personal attack.
- ddevault 7y agoAnd if we extrapolate your logic, we can never comment on anyone's bad behavior at all. My complaints are on topic for the article in question, I'm not just swinging at Moxie at random here.
- tptacek 7y agoThe "beating your wife" bit comes with words like "gaslight", "self-serving", and "moxie's wants above all else". I'm trying to imagine what the comment originally said, because the one you've edited is obviously a personal attack. Not to mention the fact that you appear to have just conceded my point. "But we were talking about Bob!" doesn't make it OK to ask Bob whether he's stopped beating his wife.
