permaculture

[LBUZZELL@aol.com]

Here are the words you used: "1) unfair 2) paranoid 3)  unnecessary 
fear-mongering  4) inaccurate"

While it can perhaps be argued that "unfair" and "inaccurate" are  pretty 
civilized, since when is calling a colleague "paranoid" not an ad hominem  
attack?
 
This kind of name-calling of a permaculture colleague (supposedly we're on  
the same side here?) is unworthy of permaculture and certainly not an  
example of the level of People Care I believe we aim for.  We can have free  
discussions without resorting to insults.

That is  not an ad hominem attack. You need to find a definition and read  
it.

If I say you're inaccurate in what you say and you accuse me of  being 
personally abusive then what am I to  think?
