[QUOTE="TheTechGuy, post: 458472, member: 2702"] I do not want to draw this out too much, because I am sure you and your staff are busy. However: Currently this site allows an anonymous member to post, "[Insert player name] is slow and cannot block." That is a statement that [I]personally[/I] names a player and [I]attacks[/I] a player's ability. Currently this site does NOT allow an anonymous member to post, "[Insert [B]anonymous[/B] member username] is an idiot." That is a statement that personally attacks an [B]anonymous [/B]poster's intelligence. Some might argue that, although both are personal characteristics, it is less offensive to post about physical attributes than intelligence. However, I believe the critical difference is that the named player enjoys no anonymity. If this site's opinion is that member's may question other member's intelligence, but the term "idiot" is not appropriate, then that is an opinion I can understand, even if I do not share it. Though, that opinion would beg the question of whether members may state that other members are unintelligent, dumb, simpleminded, vapid, dense, etc. [/QUOTE]
