So "you're an idiot" is a bannable offense, while "I hope you get shot" is okey-dokey?
No, all of those should be bannable. Pure generalities should not be. Again, the "members of such-and-such a group" ones are, I would guess, judged case-by-case. Some moderators may have different standards. But any type of personal-attack would definitely increase your chances of being banned.
