No matter what the reason, personal attacks on others are wrong in themselves. Even if others have lost their virtue, they should not be condemned by personal attacks.
There is no legal definition of "personal attack", and there seems to be no boundary in theory.
However, judging from many facts, personal attacks should be public opinion-oriented and have no legal effect, but most of them are words or statements with obvious personal subjective will, strong pertinence and clear purpose.
This text and speech have obvious emotional color and the content is derogatory and aggressive; In this way, we should be able to define it: personal attack means that someone or some people attack others and their bodies with indiscriminate words and remarks because of their subjective will.
what is a personal attack?
In fact, from a legal point of view, this problem should be called violation of personal rights.
everyone has personal rights, including the right to identity and personality. Personality rights include life and health rights, reputation rights, name rights and portrait rights. The right of identity includes the right of honor, copyright, invention, patent, trademark and other intellectual property rights, such as personal rights, guardianship and right of relatives.
Personal attacks are insulting others, deliberately fabricating facts, slandering others and invading their privacy.
This kind of behavior is called infringement of the right of reputation in law, and the parties can bring a civil lawsuit to demand the infringer to stop the infringement, restore his reputation, eliminate the influence, compensate for the damage and apologize.
"personal attack" is a kind of discourse power. During the New Culture Movement in China, some so-called "fake foreign devils" began to use the word "personal attack".
For example, Lu Xun was not only the first person to use the word "personal attack", but also the person who was accused of "personal attack" the most. Later, this word was widely used by the government and the people.
In law, "attack" refers to physical contact and physical expression. Its original meaning in Chinese and English is clear and correct, and it is not equal to insult, slander, slander or abuse.
most people are addicted to "personal attack", and most people are used to confusing "personal abuse" with "personal attack".
It obviously reflects a society's rationality, legal consciousness and moral standards, because any debate, criticism and disagreement do not constitute the essence of personal attacks, but at best, it is the spiritual scope of insults, slander and abuse.
there are many aspects that constitute personal attacks, such as violent personal attacks (intentional injury, beating others, etc.); Personal verbal attacks (slander, abuse, etc.); Mental and personal attacks (online insults, written insults, etc.); Curse personal attacks (open spells, secret spells, etc.)
