Nobody wants off-topic discussions, but that rule sounds ripe for abuse.

This is just dumb. If the CC can't do its job, adding more subjective rules is 
going to make things worse, not better.

And indeed people often take criticism about their work as personal attacks, so 
this would make negative reviews impossible.

Lastly insults are typically illegal anyway, so no point adding a rule for them.

This is very subjective and completely unenforceable.

Ditto.

That's fine *guideline*. It can't be a hard rule.

This is just dumb. Reviewers aren't typically paid. We can't require them to 
write constructive feedback every time (if ever). And the TC is already there 
to arbitrate technical disagreement.

Again, this is a fine guideline but it can't be a hard rule.

That's even worse. We can't control people's opinions to have them assume good 
intentions. That doesn't belong at all.

This is begging for faintly plausibly deniable sarcastic abuses. Terrible idea.
