No, that's not it. Descriptive isn't allowed either if you are describing another poster's posts in negative terms.
So you can say you felt offended, or shocked or hurt. But you can't say that anyone's post was offensive or hurtful. One describes your reactions. The other describes the other person's behavior. If you stay away from characterizing another person's behavior in a negative way, you'll be ok.
If in doubt, contact a deputy before posting.
Because even these on board discussions can lead you into trouble if you try to describe what you mean, and include negative descriptions of another poster's posts or character or behavior.
