Could you please show me the exact words which in your opinion constitute "personal attacks"?

I promise to eschew them if by any chance my words can be reasonably construed as being an ad hominem.

By HN's standards, comments like "Are you high by any chance?", "Someone who can't spell gives lessons", "Congratulations, you won the "[x] of the year" award", "I understand your brain is fixated", and "spew your bizarre ideas" are highly uncivil. Commenting like this is sure to get your account banned on HN. Please read the following, and post civilly and substantively or not at all:
