Sorry, but rules against flaming and personal attacks are beneficial to intelligent discussion because it forces people to focus on their actual arguments instead of resorting to childish name calling. Franco may have an opinion people disagree with but he is still a regular contributing member and the rules regarding personal attacks apply to him, too.
That's not to say you can't disagree with him or even insult his position on a particular topic but resorting to personal attacks won't be tolerated.
