Insults?

[DavidSchinazi]

I think it might be worth it to add insults as a subsection to the Descriptions section of unprofessional commentary. One clear example comes to mind: "The idea you proposed is stupid." It would be nice to send a clear message that this kind of language is unprofessional, and not tolerated on IETF lists.

The current subsection on "personal attacks" mentions "insulting others", but I worry some might interpret that as allowing insulting others' ideas.

How about this one:

"Can we move on, please?"

No one is obligated to read messages sent to an email list (even the SAAs can rely on complaints to surface problematic messages), so these messages come across as insults.
