But there is also truth. When someone acts like a jerk, I feel like it's okay to say, "Hey, you're acting like a jerk. What's up with that?" For that person to then come back and say, "Oh, well, now you're getting personal!" is incomprehensible to me.

Also, to have good friends, you have to treat them with respect. That's the way it should be, anyway.
I have no problem with name-calling, however, when one person is referring to another as a coward and a child, I find it rather amusing that said person is being quite cowardly and childish themself. I'm forced to sit here and say "Hi, you should talk."
