 Many LGPedians remove personal attacks on third parties on sight, and although this isn't policy it's often seen as an appropriate reaction to extreme personal abuse. Users have been  banned for repeatedly engaging in personal attacks. Abusive edit summaries are particularly ill-regarded.

 Extreme attacks, in particular legal threats and death threats, can be dealt with by blocking the offending user without warning.

-Different contributors may not agree on an article. Members of opposing communities  reasonably wish to express their views. Synthesising these views into a single article creates a better, more article for everyone. Remember to accept that '''we are all part of the same community''' as we are all LGpedians.

-Debate is an essential part of the culture of LGpedia.  Be civil and adhere to good LGpedia Etiquette when stating disagreements to avoid personalizing them and try to minimize unnecessarily antagonistic comments.  Disagreements with other editors can be discussed without resorting to personal attacks.  It is important not to personalize comments that are directed at content and actions, but it is equally important not to interpret impersonal comments as personal attacks.  Examples of comments that are not personal attacks include:

 * Disagreements about content such as "Your statement about ''X'' is wrong" or "Your statement is a point of view, not fact" are not personal attacks.
 * Remarks describing an editor's actions and made without involving their personal character should not be construed as personal attacks.  Stating "Your statement is a personal attack..." is not itself a personal attack — it is a statement regarding the actions of the user, not a statement about the user. (It can however be a ''harmful'' statement if it's untrue.)  A comment such as "responding to accusation of bad faith by user ''X''" in an edit summary or on a talk page is not a personal attack against user ''X''.
-* A comment in an edit history such as "reverting vandalism" is not a personal attack if it's concerned with clear vandalism, although otherwise it ''is''. "Vandalism" imputes bad intentions and bad motives to the person accused. If the edit that is being reverted could be interpreted as a good-faith edit, then don't label it as vandalism. See [[LGpedia:Vandalism]] for what is and isn't vandalism.
