whereas impersonal attacks....made purely for the common good of the greatest number.

I think we can all agree that the dirty sods who find themselves the subject of an impersonal attack: made to correct the evils of this terrible age and to punish the malefactor....they have only themselves to blame. In fact in a way they should feel honoured, and sort of humbled that we people in the right - we took the time to kick them in the goolies.
