I always thought that the rule about personal insults should take context into account, and shouldn't be acted upon unless the receiving party has reported it as over the line.

I think a lot of people here can handle being called an idiot, and frankly, could use it from time to time. I'm not advocating behaving like internet savages, but I think we can take care of ourselves, and more, I think that the most hurtful comments often contain no namecalling at all. Hence context.
