“What, mockery and ridicule can get a freeper banned? Someone please tell me what the guidelines are on this.”
First of all, you left of the name calling, which can qualify as personal attack.
If someone doesn’t get involved in mocking or ridiculing other FReepers and their beliefs, there should be nothing to worry about.

If my post has been considered a personal attack than I apologize, and I'll try and figure out what I said that was offensive and make sure it never happens again. However, this is the concern, that it's possible to be viewed as "mocking or ridiculing" without having intended to do so. A clearer understanding of what's acceptable would be handy here.
Otherwise, why is that a concern? Are you worried?
Imagine my response thus: Why do you want to know? Is this important to you? You keeping records or something? That would sound like an attitude problem, so we'd be better off if we just didn't go there.
