Perhaps I am not hip to the new moderation that has flowed from the changeover to DK4?
What is an insult?
My definition is as follows:

I will not provide links, or names. This is not a call out diary, or a retaliatory diary. It is however, an attempt to ask whether or not there exists a standard for distinguishing disagreement with insult?
This is not an attempt to instigate anything, or an invitation to further rate comments already made either way. I do not believe in writing diaries for such purposes.
The point of the diary is to ask if a line was crossed into HR'able territory via insult? I think it is clear from my title where I stand on the matter. It is a point worth exploring, I believe, because it is relevant beyond just the comment in question. I think such a standard, if it is something other than the standard definition, is applies to every word, sentence, paragraph, diary, and article written.
