I disagree, Alan expressed a general political view without naming (much less attacking) anyone on the list personally. Mark's comments were a direct personal attack on Alan for his views. > What is the difference between Alan's posting and Mark's posting. A lot, ever hear of an "ad hominem" argument? > Both should not have been made and both posters were out of line. IMO, economic or political discussion not directly related to Delphi or programming are indeed "off topic"; however I'd consider only personal attacks to be actually "out of line".
