The logic behind equating shade with other offenses has to do with the fact that it could derail a thread and lead to unnecessary fighting.

I still think
this warrants a WP, or at least a reminder.
If they had replaced "your" with "Beyone's" then they would have gotten a WP for flamebait/off-topic.
However, since it was about me (an active user) they don't get abrasive/off-topic, or any type of consequence.
Edit: nvm, it's warned now. Justice prevails.
but I agree with you. Personal attacks should be worth a few points. Having a laugh at a major artist is all fun & games but when you start personally attacking someone on a 1-on-1 basis it starts to threaten the entertainment aspect of a forum. I don't see it that often though, thank God. There are some sites that are terrible for it.
