B would qualify as both ad hominem and condescension, wouldn't it?  That type is already banned, and certainly the worst kind of ad hominem, but it is not frequently met with here. 

I hope that D-type statements aren't held forth as an example of condescension ("belittling") worthy of warning and suspension. Most everyone uses sarcasm at one time or another. Bfine included.  Honestly, if someone said that to me, I would not assume the speaker was condescending.

This is clear cut condescension.

Poster E: Yeah, no need to kneel; because we wouldn't expect someone with your literacy level to know police violate the rights of black folks.

Of course you wouldn't because no one has ever used sarcasm to belittle a person.  
See what I did there

Nah, Poster E went Ad Hominem. My example belittles the original assertions by introducing a Straw Man. Satcasim that is directed at the poster belittles the point made and should not be used in civil discourse
