What exactly is the problem with personal attacks?
(Except that they aren't related to programming)

I have no problem with personal attacks, as it challenges my ideas.

If the personal attacks are solemnly at parts that I can't change (skin 
colour etc.) then I'd just ignore them.
The same goes for dumb name calling.

Almost always a post like 'ignore X, he/she is always like that' suffices to 
make the attacked aware of the status of the attacker and for those times it 
really goes too far the posts can be deleted.
