Clarification of a personal attack

Posted on 2019-11-192019-11-19 by Hudsonkv

I need some clarification on a particular comment I thought crossed the line in terms of a personal attack.  To be clear, the specific conversation didn’t involve me.  I just felt the moderation sets up a bad precedent you don’t want on this site.

To sum up, one person said “She’s disgusting” in regards to an article about Rep Ilhan Omar.  But another person responded to that person with “Your mom?”.   And then the original person responded with a comment that was then deleted by a mod (which I am not questioning at all).

But that being said, I’m surprised the “Your mom” response wasn’t also deleted.  Can another moderator explain to me why “Your mom?” in response to “She’s disgusting” isn’t a personal attack and why this didn’t need deletion?
