I generally prefer norms that look like sparring—anything that’s relevant is fair game, anything on the boundary of personal attack is fair game so long as you can make the case for its relevance.
Personal preferences aside, the biggest norm problem I’ve encountered is when people make an assertion based on priors that are taboo to discuss but you can’t make a solid counterargument without addressing them.
