[QUOTE="TheTechGuy, post: 458590, member: 2702"] I understand that personal attacks, even as a retaliatory measure, are not allowed. I am trying to get you to understand that a rule that allows anonymous members to personally attack athletes while protecting those who would personally attack athletes is overly protectionist. Specifically, use of the term “idiot” in that context. Not all personal attacks, obviously. As I wrote above, I’ve stated my case. Your site your rules. *As an aside, I do not like the phrase “personal attack” when discussing appropriate rhetoric. I have always felt “attack” has a physical connotation, when that’s obviously NOT what we are discussing. Perhaps “personally insult” would be better, but that’s just my subjective view. [/QUOTE]
