1. This one:
Disruptive and likely to derail an otherwise thoughtful discussion.
It is the responsibility of every DU member to help promote thoughtful discussion by staying on-topic and exercising the appropriate level of self-control. This is especially important when interacting with other DU members who are making a good-faith effort to have a thoughtful and respectful discussion. The moderators are empowered to remove any post that serves to disrupt, derail, or hijack an otherwise thoughtful discussion, if they believe doing so will help keep the thread open and on-topic so other DUers can participate in good faith. Note: The purpose of this rule is to remove the proverbial "turd in the punchbowl" -- but please be aware that the moderators are not required to pick turds out of a punchbowl filled with turds.

2. Just so this turd has a clear understanding
If I had left "fucking" out of my response, and it was simply "so what?", would that have been considered "disruptive"?

3. Short answer: Maybe.
Long answer: How about writing something of substance instead of posting "So what?"
