I figured it would have been standard with any forum.
I do have to say that I've been impressed with the civility (despite even heated arguements) in this forum but trolls will still come and go just like this Edward and his sockpuppet accounts and others like him in the future.
Now, I'm not the sort of person who easily takes offense at anything, but people who do come here and violates that particular rule usually doesn't seem to contribute to any discussion in a meaningful way.
Though I'm fairly new here, I tend to agree with this point. Personal attacks, I would think, should be out of the question on any public forum with admins who care about the integrity of said forum. Glad to see there's now no longer any question on the matter.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea | By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown | Till human voices wake us, and we drown. — T.S. Eliot
"... man always has to decide for himself in the darkness, that he must want beyond what he knows. ..." — Simone de Beauvoir
"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again." — Albert Camus, "The Stranger"
