> [@Jack\_Batty](#): > > **Dio** , can you just admit that Dr. Laura got her certificate \*after \*she got her doctorate so \*\*Shodan \*\*can achieve orgasm and we can rejoin the actual topic of the thread? Please refraid from comments like this: > [@No direct personal insults or "flaming" in great debates](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/no-direct-personal-insults-or-flaming-in-great-debates/210240/3): > > Do not say or imply that your fellow posters achieve sexual gratification or soil themselves in glee/distress due to recent news reports, politcal icongraphy, contemplation of ideological positions, etc. In fact, if you’re going to discuss someone’s bowels or genitalia at all, it better be DIRECTLY relevant to the debate at hand. > > I mean, GEEZ. It’s disgusting and adds nothing to the debate, and I am somewhat dismayed I even have to explicitly make a rule against this practice, but what was once a vanishingly rare occurance is now getting ickily prevalent. This is not longer as prevalent as it was years ago when this rules addendum was posted, but I’d like to keep it that way. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dr-laura-wants-her-first-amendment-rights-back/550594)._
