I've been here longer than you have, this is my 100th alt account. The rules are for tools.
All of this meta-discussion of debating when/how we should debate or complaining how "rude" or "boorish" we are is more off-topic, boring and distracting than any flamewar.
The whole point of this site is to coerce public-facing people (like VC founders) into interacting with anonymous users and debating the ideas themselves. A sort of middle ground between reddit and 4chan. That's what all the "civility" and "kindness" talk is for.
