Depends on the person's history.
There are users who constantly ignore the rules, who have been banned and let back in and continue to push it with 'innocent' little flames like that. I hate that shit and I will ban them for it.
"Post with respect" is the basis of all the pub rules and users who repeatedly ignore that don't need to be posting in the pub. Someone with no troublemaking history who calls someone an idiot probably won't even get an official warning, just an edit and a "knock it off, ok" if anything.
Sometimes we overreact, sometimes we underreact. There is a support ticket system if you feel you've been shafted. This is the one of the best boards on the internet, I'm always amazed how much some users complain about it.
