The guidelines have made this crystal clear:
> When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
> Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity.
