Title: General Rule

Quote from Borek
"General rule is: we will not help you hurt yourself."

You might want to change it to the below statement or something to that effect.

"General rule is: we will not help you hurt someone, including yourself."

I know that brevity is the soul of wit, but I shoot for accuracy.

I stick to 'yourself'. Even if it is not as broad, it is more directed to the reader. Thus its perception is better (one of the first marketing rules tells you to use 'you' in ads, it is one of the most 'positive' words). That's a 'practical psychology' :)

"We will not help you hurt anyone, including yourself."

or

"We will not help you hurt anyone, including you."

That way we appear more altruistic.

The shorter slogan, the better. Trust me - I was manipulating readers for ten years working as a journalist ;)
