Pretty much how it is. There's a fair bit of joking around and many of us know each other IRL. You can't refer to a person as stupid, but you can certainly call an idea stupid.

The line is drawn when it's the poster who is being attacked, unless we mods see that there's a definite pattern of abuse. In one case I told a poster that if he used the expression, "By the way, that's not an attack" one more time, that I would start giving him infractions for it.
