Ontological Disproof of God

[Angrboda]

Even if the section you quoted were a rule, it only says that members are not free to insult others without limit. But then, that's already been pointed out in the rules on flaming, as well as the prime directive. It's simply underscoring that there are limits on behavior, without actually setting any new limits. What it does not do is create a new rule whereby members are required to treat new members in any way differently than other members outside the introduction forum. Nobody has ever had carte blanche to be insulting or rude outside the introduction forum. It only requests that people try to be welcoming and friendly at all times. It does not say we are obligated to do so, nor that failure to do so will be punished.
