and I find that the meaning of "rude" varies greatly from one person to another. Sort of like 50 Shades of Rude. When I serve on the Jury it would have to be a personal attack on a fellow DUer that was way out of line. I find that trolls are ever so quick to bait and cry foul in their report. It's part of their plan to divide and conquer.

As adults we can get off our sanctimonious arses and stop thinking that someone is making a personal attack when they are expressing a different or opposite opinion. If your skin is that thin then there may be a Disney or Churchy forum out there for you where they are "politically correct."
