Personal attack are the most distasteful, and are rarely humourous.
Spam can be entertaining, if the posters have a sense of humour.You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence. -

This isnt about personalities, and I think there are plenty of folks who've done each of these, and some more than one.Originally posted by Ecthy

Lord, while I agree with one of the above mentioned that you , as many Jews, do have a tendency to turn things to issues Jewish, I normally read your posts with pleasure. You're about the only one at this place besides me from the civil sector with an insight into international relations
Edit: what I'm trying to say is, there's no need to be defensive-aggressive, no need for counter attacks.Comment

, which is why in the past Ive tended to ignore them. I don't think they show off Apolyton in the best light to newbies though.

It doesn't annoy me that you talk about Jews, it annoys me that you take every tangental oportunity to steer conversations into some Jewish history lesson.The 'attacks" dont bother me all that much, as mainly they just call me "jewish" something Im proud of, as you may have gathered, which is why in the past Ive tended to ignore them.

There's worse folks on the planet, and they are represented here. Margaret MacMillan notes in her volume on the Paris peace conference something along the lines of: if you put the task of describing an elephant to an Englishman, a German and a Pole, the outcome will be like this: the Englishman will describe the behaviour of the elephant and how to hunt him, the German will describe its biology. The Pole will begin his essay with the words: "The elephant is primarily a Polish question..."Originally posted by Patroklos

The worst kind? Easy.
Clinical, character-less, bland posts by one-trick ponies in poorly formatted posts. For example, a thread by a well-known Jewish poster about Kosher food without the use of punctuation, and with every sentence on its own line. Any attempts at humour or fun are shot down with a "I REPORTED YOUR POST" comment."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
Ben Kenobi: "That means I'm doing something right. "Comment
