That crosses (or at least reaches) the line into personal attack. Please don't do that, but err on the side of civility when commenting here.

Wait, which part is a personal attack?


Calling names ("fanboy"), doubting what someone has or hasn't done, telling them what they don't understand, drawing personal conclusions from reading extraneous things they've written and importing that into an argument as ammunition.

None of those things is necessarily a personal attack by itself but they're personal, uncivil, and especially bad in combination.
