The term "Personal Attack" is defined in the main moderation sticky
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43454) as follows:

> 
> Personal attack: Insults or rude ad hominem arguments directed at
> another member are not permitted.
> 

The problem is comments which attack or denegrate another person,
rather than an idea (the wikipedia article on Ad Hominem is quite
interesting!). In short, saying that an idea is stupid is OK (although
not exactly constructive), saying the person is stupid is not.
