    It's "casting aspersions on" not "casting aspersions about"
    Nonsense, you can use either forms, also you may want to use a period at the end of your sentence, before being critical (wrongly).

        See how easy that was to clarify? And yet you - sorry, markmm - were unable to do so.
        I am not markmm or kandr or MarrilionFan or whoever else you have accused me of being. Can we continue now, please!

                Meh, typo.

                It's "form" not "forms".

                If you can find me a definition using "about" rather than "on" I'd like to see it.

                Maybe start here

                  Both civility and incivility are broad churches and clearly your mileage may vary on the what constitutes one or the other but my personal view (which I'm sure will be widely shared) is that, on balance, serially casting aspersions about the integrity of others over months is uncivil.

                    It is fun looking words up actually, isn't it.

                    An idiot, dolt, or dullard is a mentally deficient person, or someone who acts in a self-defeating or significantly counterproductive way. Archaically the word mome has also been used. The synonymous terms moron, imbecile, and cretin have all gained specialised meanings in modern times. An idiot is said to be idiotic, and to suffer from idiocy. A dunce is an idiot who is specifically incapable of learning. An idiot differs from a fool (who is unwise) and an ignoramus (who is uneducated/ an ignorant), neither of which refer to someone with low intelligence.

                      I said definitions, not examples of poor use. Just because someone else does it does not make it right, particularly if you are going to quote other peoples quotes on Wikipedia.

                      That should have read "...serially casting aspersions upon...".
