Wouldn't life be a little easier for the mods if they didn't have to remove personal attacks?

Users get away with personal attacks all the time by skirting the rules and not blatantly calling a person a name. What they say is sometimes worse than calling a person a name. We’ve had a user stop visiting this site because users get away with attacking others this way.

Wouldn’t it be easier for the mods to just let the attacks be, since people are mean anyway? What difference does it make if someone uses the word bitch or dick? Mean is mean imo.

Wouldn’t it be easier to get rid of all meanness or just let it be, then the mods can deal with spam and not have to worry about personal attacks?

just thinking out loud here…
