Are insults against friends/family members off limits?

[DaFace]

Recently, this has come up in DC, but we've always set rules forum-wide rather than forum at a time. The entire place is so filled with personal attacks that I'm not sure any efforts could ever make conversation in there civil. But the question is, from a moderation standpoint, are personal attacks against family members over the line?

Depending on the answer to this question, we may add another bannable offense to the list. Poll to follow.

I once relieved myself and found a frozen turkey staring back at me.

Did you ever notice, no matter what you order, it's always "OK ten minute"
You could be ordering an egg roll or ten General Tso's specials and it's "ten minute"

Generic stuff about people who aren't really known isn't really the focus here.

So how would you rate frazod's reaction to the comments about his wife?

Yes, because I know that my son is not, in fact, a stupid, ugly little heathen.

He's a brilliant, adorable little heathen.

There is simply too much chance of someone trying to get someone else banned not because they deserve it, but simply because they thought someone on the Internet was mean to them.

Yes, there are several people who post crap in the D.C. forum not to have an honest discussion of the issue(s), but simply to get a reaction -- and that includes insulting someone's family.

But the solution isn't to ban them. It's to ignore them. There's a reason we have that feature.

Listen, most folks who have been here for more than a month know who the crap disturbers are in D.C., and even in the Lounge. Put those folks on ignore and go about your lives.

Sheesh ... it's not that freakin' complicated.

No, believe it or not.

Anything else I order is '10 minute' though.

I finally matured enough this year that I don't have to stifle a chuckle when I ask for the pu pu platter.
