It's a public forum. By extension of your logic, anyone who responds or comments on something someone else has written is taking it personally?
I think it's fair to say i'm not shy about expressing myself, if I wanted to make an ad-hominem attack I'd feel comfortable enough to do it and own it.
I'm pointing out that there's a huge disconnect between how teary-eyed and het up people get on the subject of doping and their apparent interest in the actual sport or the people they're saying no longer deserve a platform or shouldn't talk about certain subjects. It's contrary and spectacularly lacking in consistency.
"I just don't understand the how people can simultaneously not care enough to think about things or do some reading but care so much they have to decry their huge personal disappointment that the aforementioned sporting figure they'd never bothered to read about has doped."
"I think a lot of people who respond this way would be theologians in another era, mumbling catchetisms whilst deliberating on the merit of rounding up disbelievers and burning them lest God be angry and give everyone the pox."
Such flights of hyperbole, rhetoric, and thinly-veiled ad hominem attacks are inconsistent with being a disinterested observer.
And one does rather have to wonder why you find @Jimmy_Fingers mental processes so utterly fascinating and worthy of detail commentary given that apparently you're not taking it personally.
No, it's really not.
