I understand the desire but see this "rule" as ripe for abuse in itself.

Seems it has not been applied evenly, in the past.

What keeps it from becoming a Muzzle?

It is FOOLISH upon it's face!

 

All that I have observered is a flurry of posts whenever the Spectre is raised

Some on this side some on that but never any clear application.

 

Is there any example where this has worked in real application on TT posts in the past?

Everyone on TT has a perception of who is on what side.

This includes the moderator, who would interpret & apply the rule.

wishes to raise the bar in this area. Izzy

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.
