An other (and long-standing) community standard (all over the Internet, not just here) is that personal attacks are unacceptable behaviour.

As a recent discussion demonstrated, the community-standard of Brin-L is that private messages should not be posted on-list without permissino of the sender.
So, you are not in any position whatsoever to complain about other people violating community standards.
I am not setting community standards, I am telling you that you, being someone who habitually violates community standards, are in no position whatsoever to complain about (real or alleged) violations of those standards.You, however, do not have the right to set community standards.
