On the internet, combining a second-person pronoun with a pejorative is going to come across as a personal attack.
Even this:
> what you have written is intellectually dishonest
is likely to land as a personal attack.
Moreover, (1) you can't know whether someone is being dishonest because you can't know their internal state. Nobody says to themselves "i'm being dishonest right now", so a comment like this is almost always going to get flamewar-style pushback, which is what we're trying to avoid here. Also,
(2) you don't need this! You can make your substantive points entirely without calling names, getting personal, etc. If you'd please do that in the future, we'd be grateful.
> your intellectual dishonesty
