Your hairsplitting distinction between "rude and/or uncivil edits" and "personal attacks" is unsupportable in this context. For over two years   WP:NPA expressly described "Profanity directed against another contributor." as an example of personal attacks. Do you seriously suggest that, despite the concededly incomplete nature of the specific cases described, the removal of this particular example demotes "Profanity directed against another contributor." to the realm of mere incivility not amounting to a personal attack?
