Rule Changes + New Restrictions

[John V]

John,

Your suggestion would not work as it isn't the kind of rule we're going for. We aren't banning insults outright. We are banning people who flame or try to incite flame wars.

One off insults are a natural part of discussion. Escalating those insults to the point where you are using them regularly and for seemingly no reason is when it starts to become a problem.

So with that in mind, what are your suggestions?

I think my wording already addresses your concerns:
"posts which only insult and do not add to the discussion"

Insults would be allowed in posts which also substantively add to the discussion.

Could it be because you have no argument whatsoever?

Really John, jealousy now?

No need for that John V, I have a perfectly functional mouse wheel to skip over your posts. Consider this as me going out of this conversation and out of your hair, I will not waste anymore of your time.
