"Just because it isn't listed here, doesn't mean it's ok. If you post anything which is obviously disruptive, malicious, or repugnant to this community, its members, or its values, you risk being in violation of these Terms of Service."

The frank matter is that calling out people by name has long been a TOS violation, and just because it isn't specifically mentioned in the new, revised TOS, I'm not going to push my luck by calling out others. You don't like that, too bad. You can do what I told the other poster above, go look it up for yourself. The information is freely available to anybody, including you, who chooses to do their own research.

This isn't proving a negative, this is simply abiding by DU standards, and having people do their own research. OMG, you might actually have to do some work rather than having everything spoon-fed to you
