A) The "colleague" making all the personal attacks is guilty of the same thing.
B) Interestingly, I received a PM from a forumite a few days ago complaining that it is the other regulars here who are gulity of this and that this person is leaving the forum here as a result. I won't reveal the person's name, but here is a part of the PM:

I just needed someone to talk to about how frustrating I find this forum.
Way back when you did that editorial, I came here to voice my opinion. Someone at GB said that one should hang out at a forum to get the feel of it first before jumping in on something controversial. That made sense, so I started looking in here as part of my daily routine.
I like the articles and the reviews, and for the most part found the discussions stimulating.
The frustrating thing for me is that I feel marginalized and archaic due to the constant innuendoes that the games I love to play are not valid nor relevant in todays evolving genre. It's not because of age or experience, it's more the attitude of superiority. I don't like many adventure games (due to interface, action, etc.) but I don't try to make the people that do like them "see the light"... For some reason here it becomes a mission to prove that these games are substandard to the rest of the Adventure Games.
