may get us all blocked at some point or another. 
I appreciate the rules themselves but, IMO, sometimes a "dirty" fight is needed to get the point across. I think setting boundaries for how dirty a fight can get is a good idea, though. I like to scrap it up every now and again myself, it's good for the blood but the example you used about Irish slavery, would point back to what I said initially, it would be a rule that could get any one of us blocked.
What I'm more concerned about is letting folks know what is expected behaviorally and what can get them blocked from the site. Personally, I don't want to do a lot of hand-holding but I want to be clear on what will get someone booted, so they know ahead of time.
For example:
• If an OP doesn't have anything to do with Intersectionality, your thread will be locked.
• If your replies don't pertain to Intersectionality (meaning, you're here to cause trouble) and a pattern emerges, you will be blocked for an amount of time determined by the hosts.
• If you deny the existence of Intersectionality, you will be blocked for an amount of time determined by the hosts.
• No name-calling, we aren't in preschool.
• Try and keep on-topic. There's nothing worse than someone going off on a tangent that has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
Things like the above (just quick examples I thought of off the top of my head)
