As for ad hominem attacks, it's obviously a very subjective line. And in the autocratic space of <a href="http://thelmagazine.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">TheLMagazine.com</a>, I'm in control of that line.

      <![CDATA[No you didn't say that. My point was that you seem to engage in the same attack you said I crossed the line with "You guys are fucking idiots" feels like a personal attack if written to me. <br>
<br>
A bigger issue than all this is having an intern on your staff who took the opportunity to slam an entire neighborhood without having anything interesting or intelligent to write about it seemingly other than "This place is creepy".<br>
<br>
She interviewed people only to slam them.
