As a "VICTIM" of such a number of times, including out and out Vile language hurled in my direction by now EX TTer's it would seem that I should be a proponent of the AD Hom rule, NOT SO.
The filth, by the way did not even ellicit a comment from the "moderator" of the time (also an EX) (Hint for Blaine - notice I did not capitalize)

Even if this were true, it would not disqualify the idea of having an ad 
hominem rule.  Subjective tests are just fine.

We attempt to frame the rule objectively in the following way:  write on the 
subject being discussed and do not attack the other poster's character.

We enforce the rule in a subjective way:  The moderator determines when 
someone is crossing the line and causing the discussion to detour because of 
personal attacks.

What is foolish about this?

Peace be with you.
