"::::::::::I didn't feel personally targetted.  I just abhor the use of such language in any context.  It's understandable coming from children, but not from adults.  It's against Wikipedia rules, for one thing.  But more importantly, it undermines the writer's arguments.  If the argument - whatever it is - is strong enough, it will win out on its merits.  If the writer feels the need to say words to the effect of ""If you don't see it my way, you're an idiot"", that suggests they don't actually have the confidence that their own argument is persuasive enough all by itself.  If it isn't persuasive, so be it.  Abuse won't change that.  It reflects far more badly on the writer than on the supposed idiocy of the reader.  That's my philosophy.
