So why not put an automod filter for no-no words?

Which words am I allowed to respond to someone who insults me? When people make unsubstantiated, completely nonsensical attacks on your character it clearly shows a lack of intelligence so retard seems quite fitting in my opinion. If that's just too scary for you would you prefer moron? Idiot? Which word should I have used to not upset the jannies? Or am I supposed to just let people insult me willy nilly and never respond to it because the admins have arbitrarily decided to take a specific side?

No ad hominems against your fellow saidittors are allowed https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/j1/the_saiditnet_terms_and_content_policy/

Ad hominem means "You're wrong because you're retarded", "You're wrong because you're racist" or "You're wrong because you're white male" or "You're wrong because you're X".

Statement like "[insert an actual argument here], retard" is not an ad hominem.

Original comment is much closer to ad hominem than Markimus' response.

Any why are you whining so fucking hard about a warning that got handed out at the end of the internet?

I just saw the reply, and I often see people misusing the term ad hominem.
