"Attack the post, not the poster" should be removed as a rule

I think attacks on typos are an attack on the poster, e.g. “You’re so stupid, you can’t spell right!” Everyone here has typos. This isn’t a legal brief to the Supreme Court. If I leave out a word, then so what? I don’t proof my posts. So, in a way, those comments are personal attacks because of their pettiness.

Not all comments are attacks. Some are lighthearted jokes, for example,

@UltraVires

I think it a very important distinction.

Let’s hope you remember to use verbs in your Supreme Court briefs!
