Is that against the rules? Or is it only where someone protests? For example, the example I used above: most everyone here knows mhking's name, and many refer to him that way. Is that against the rules?

Also - with regard to your admonition about personal attacks, some clarification may be helpful. Is calling someone "worse than Nazis" a personal attack?

How about disparaging the character of another FReeper?

Just curious - the application of that particular rule is one I've never quite been able to figure out, and it'd be easier to stay on the right side of the line if it were explained which slurs constitute "personal attacks" and which do not.

A lot of freepers know EV's real name as well as other freeper's real names, so I'm not sure what the rules are anymore either. FR seems to be "ruleless" these days.

lugsoul, calling someone "worse than Nazi's" is about as bad as it gets. It doesn't get any worse than being called a Nazi. You do realize that, don't you?
