Examples where what you suggest doesn't apply:

"You're right/wrong, the AS is XXXXXX",

"You make a good/bad point",

"Have you been able to trade through Scottrade?".

"Hey, how are you? Haven't talked to you for awhile".

"Think your math is messed up, 10 days from now is x"

That was actually a big part of the issue with the original rules. Some Mods decided that any reference such as the above were TOS violations because they "were about the other User". There was no intent in the original design that pronouns couldn't be used. It was simply asking people to focus on the company and not other Members.

Maybe this will help clear it up.

I just wrote another:

...the SP was quickly dumped so ones only choice was a big loss or hold on.

The word 'ones' can be replaced with 'your' and it still is a complete sentence.

Yet some see the word 'your' (or 'you' could be used if you rephrase <= of shit I just did it again) but 'your' or 'you' has no set direction of pointing out anyone, they are pointing to the masses.
