Pointing out faulty reasoning is allowed and not considered a personal attack, surely?

The precedent has been set that it is OK to accuse someone of something if there is supporting evidence.
Without a valid argument, it is considered a personal attack.
Is this guideline still in effect?

Why?  Whom do you wish to attack?

Would you care to have this conversation with my supposed employers?

I don't always agree with your politics but I feel you'd be good at it.

Incidentally I agree in broad terms, everyone is prone to "bandwagoneering" on their chosen flavour of bias.

In the long run I think a self-depreciating wit and healthy sense of irony might be easier all round than being continually "woke" about everything.

Except my supposed employers of course, they can f**k right off.
