It seems that those types of exchanges could easily be considered as personal attacks, but I think in some cases they're not meant in the spirit of belittling another poster, or undermining their position - but are more in the spirit of comraderie. I understand and support the direction that the rules are meant to encourage, but I just want to know what happens when I kid Alladin_sane about his absurdum argument concerning fucking horses and homosexuality, for example. I hope these rules don't remove the personality of the posters.
