Attacking Competitors

I sometimes wonder if the world is turning into a globe of pansies when I read statements like "I can't blog that because it would appear as if I am attacking competitors."  Geesh.  What is wrong with attacking competitors?  The world is not an Olympic and the market is not some field-and-track sporting event where you are competing side-by-side.  Get in touch with your inner feelings and kick your opponents between the leg in earnest.  When they are down, kick them again so they can't get up.  Nasty?  I call it being sincere.
