Surely "give respect to others' opinions" should be first? rather than "be as rude and insulting as you like"?
There's a difference between being rude, and throwing the occasional insult to downright flaming.
While everyone expects a certain amount of respect, it's inevitable that ideas and personalities clash. Rudeness should be expected occasionally, insults even. This isn't license for people to act like cunts all the time sure, that's why we have the flaming and trolling rules, but generally if you say something another person doesn't like, and they insult you for it, we're probably not gonna intervene unless it turns into a pissing match. If we intervened every time someone got called a rude word, we'd need about 10 times as many moderators.
