Being told that you are ugly (for any reason) is a personal attack.  How is it not? Look.  Don't get me wrong.  This is not a fat-sympathy.  This is just common sense.  Should people be protected from personal attacks?  Of course not.  But to pretend that calling someone ugly isn't a personal attack is a silly notion.  I'm sorry.  Feel free to disagree with me if you want.  I'm just trying to say that it ultimately takes away from your argument when you act as if it's not a personal attack.
