[QUOTE=Camron Rust;923937]Personal? What was personal about what I said?

Explain what the intent of posting this was:

"You might as well claim he might have seen the defender punch him in the nose, pull his shorts down, and spit in his face."

Not personal, just pointing out the absurdity of the position you're taking.

Camron didn't say anything personally attacking you. He just used a reductio ad absurdum argument against you. A fallacious argument maybe, but not personal.
