55. Doesn't make it OK--especially since the sig line

specifically says it is NOT acceptable to do so.

I don't alert on posts, but if I were someone who did alert on posts, I would have alerted on yours for calling him a dumbass; and if I had been on a jury for that post (that is, if someone had alerted on it), I would have voted to hide it as a personal attack.

In general, even on juries, I am inclined to leave posts alone, because I am all for spirited debate. But nasty name-calling is not spirited debate, and I will typically vote to hide a post that calls someone an insulting name.

I realize that you are a highly respected member here, and obviously you work tirelessly for the progressive cause with your writing. But I do think you often step over the line with name-calling.
