Attn: All. The Rules. by Illiad2007-01-25 00:07:44
  Same "ad-hominem" suggestion as before. by bwkaz 2007-01-25 04:16:41
Using the name of a logical fallacy in that manner seems to be ... odd to me. Ad hominem is arguing about the person when their argument didn't depend on who they were; it's nothing more than an invalid logic "step".

If I had written that rule, I'd have said something like "Remember there are human beings at the other end. Respond to the argument, don't attack the person."

The rule is a good one though.
