We could add some examples to [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks]]. We had a big talk here about "moron." If you want trouble with someone who is little slow, just call em a moron and see what it gets you. Nazi is a little easier case, but we still have Wikipedia users who think they can throw the word around and make it stick, see for example the current Arbitration case [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Mlorrey/ Proposed_decision#Advocacy_by_Mlorrey]]. Hypocrite is a bit more difficult -- how do you say nicely that an editor is applying one standard to himself and another to others. I guess you have to spell out the behavior, giving examples. Maybe some talk about how to do that on Wikipedia:No personal attacks, about adequately communicating about what is bothering you rather than resorting to invidious labels.

We could start by banning words like "hypocrite", "moron" and "nazi" when describing other wikipedians (regardless of how true these could be as Timwi said). It's the loaded words that make up a majority of personal attacks.
