I am thinking of making a modification to the forum rules and adding that "posts with negative remarks about another person´s character that might be a cause of resentment and fight are subject to deletion by moderators".

I think that this could solve some of our problems that currently do not have a clear solution. In the above problem for example, from a western point of view, thehandsom´s comment was not insulting, although armegon´s comment was. That is the western understanding of insults though and our rules currently (I think) do have a western bias. Therefore, banning all negative remarks about the character of another person could potentially prevent problems in which comments were made and one side doesn´t think they were insulting, but another side does. Simply no negative, smearing comments about personality and character should be allowed.

What do people think about it?

 Paranoia is a mental illness therefore thehandsom´s and armegon´s words were equally insulting.  

But in this context it simply implied that he´s oversuspicious about that, not that he´s metally challenged!

This whole thing is reminding me of some months ago when someone got insulted by being referred to as being ´nuts´.  The paranoia here is people seeing insults wherever they look.  Personally, I think they are all crazy.

 I have been insulted, but I have never complained.  People are just way to sensitive.  How can you say one person´s message is an insult but not the others.  Really, how do you determine this?  If a complaint is made to a mod and they don´t feel it quantifies as an insult, wouldn´t the person who complained in the first place feel even more insulted?  Do you feel compelled to act on every complaint?  How do you make this determination?  What if I feel insulted right now by coming up with another rule for those who do not insult?  Ok......I´m one of those "nuts" crazy people here, forget it....

I guess being American makes you very thick skinned.  My nationality is routinely insulted as well as my religion and my politics!  OH WELL!! I guess I do have reason to be PARANOID!!

And I guess being British makes you thick skinned as well.... This is the way we are.   We aren´t in an Eastern country tempering our language/speech for the sake of politeness - we are on a website basically set up to teach foreigners the Turkish language.  Well maybe we Brits and Americans should just carry on insulting each other in our normal friendly way and let the rest of them sit back in horror!
