because we want to keep it positive. Like attracts like, so why attract the negative to the group with a lower-energy statement about what we don't want? What we want is stated, so what we don't want is clearly implied, and that's all you need.
Your comment about the splitting of hairs is the problem, and no amount of redefining or being as explicit as possible will stop that. For those that love to split hairs, a rewritten SoP will simply become an even more desirable challenge, to see how far they can go before getting warned or banned.
By the way, we do warn a member if they've stepped over the line. It's when they persist in the nastiness that we block.
