A debate involves referring to the opponent’s positions, statements and ideas - it is okay that one should make comments about these. It is inappropriate to discuss the person.

Your reply includes vulgarity again, which undeniably makes it vulgar. I find this debate style inappropriate for a “great debate” conversation.

The rules of this board refer to comments about the person one debates with and the use of the pronoun “you.”  
Please refrain from making comments about my person. We can discuss my posts and the ideas included in them.
