No, this is beyond the bounds of the rules, and is not an appropriate
application of them.

Save the rules violation reports for serious violations.  I suggest
reading them for more clarification.

http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/2000.GA-ga-rules-v0.2.html
I post them here for your reference:

The messages must be relevant to the business of the GA
The messages must observe a minimum of decorum, including:
Not indulging in personal attacks, insults or slander
Not using offensive language


I also consider it inappropriate to CC such complaints to the public
list, as it encouraged abusive threads of people who do not like a
particular person or their position to jump on the bandwagon, which is
what was the intent of the original complainant on this thread, btw.
