Although, to be frank, I would have no problem calling you obnoxious and that wouldn't be an incorrect abridgment of my opinion of you. Unlike Brenus, I'm not a very civilized and polite human being.
What about your exhortation to attack arguments, not a person? Or is it valid only if this person is not obnoxious?

By the way, being subtler is expressing his attitude doesn't make one more polite or civilized.
