You need not apologize, this has no effect on me.  I just find that when
people engaged in a discussion or argument start personal attacks it
often indicates that they have nothing intelligent to add to the
exchange.  Discussing the intelligence of the parties of an argument
regardless of the accuracy, is a personal attack, since the intelligence
of the arguer has no bearing on the intelligence or quality of the
argument.
