So what is perlmonks definition of "personal attack" and "trolling"? Can a user lose his power to consider nodes?

Being Anonymous Monk can be hard, consider these reapings which according to posted rules should not have been reaped

Reaped: Re^5: Should I list core modules as dependencies? Reason: LanX: reap: troll insults

Reaped: Re^5: Should I list core modules as dependencies? Reason: LanX: reap: troll + personal attacks

Reaped: Re^5: Should I list core modules as dependencies? Reason: LanX: reap: troll! Again personal attacks

And consider what the PerlMonks FAQ say on the matter

How do I use the power of consideration responsibly?

Consideration is NOT an appropriate vehicle for expressing your personal agreement or disagreement with the node's contents, nor for expressing your distaste for its manner of expression.

What is consideration? Guidelines for Troll Posts

Only blatant, egregiously offensive troll posts should be considered for reapage. For useless, stupid, off-topic, and annoying nodes: if it is a root node, then don't approve it for any section. if it is a reply, just ignore it. (Downvote it if you wish.)

A definition of personal attack

Personal attack - Definition | WordIQ.com

Generally, a personal attack is committed when a person substitutes abusive remarks for evidence when examining another person's claims or comments. It is considered a personal attack when a person starts referencing a supposed flaw or weakness in an individual's personality, beliefs, lifestyle, convictions or principles, and use it as a debate tactic or as a means of avoiding discussion of the relevance or truthfulness of what the person said. It works on the reasoning that, by discrediting the source of an argument, e.g. the person making it, the argument itself can be weakened.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
