Please don't attempt to turn a key term in a guideline for constructive
discourse into a word which which can't be used in practice because it
is would be considered a "godwin point".

Without wanting to take away or diminish the recommendation that I've
given on avoiding ad hominem remarks, let me quote another very good
recommendation:

  "Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send"

(This particular wording may have originated in RFC 1122 [1], where the
principle is attributed to an earlier RFC edited by Jon Postel; in that
earlier RFC however the principle was worded differently.)

Greetings,
Norbert
