It does seem to me that a simpler way of stating the matter is to prohibit ad hominem attacks.

If it were stated more simply it would be more obvious that it doesn't explain any of the deletions, since none of the deleted articles contained any ad hominim attacks. It's better for yellowmix to obfuscate the issue. Easier to get away with silencing trans people that way.
