Yeah, but with that apology - and k9bfriender’s history of good behavior - I’ll give it a pass. Go, and sin no more. Guys, it is NEVER best practices to mock another poster’s username. Down that path leads warnings, madness and chaos. Let’s avoid it where we can. ---

Down that path leads warnings, madness and chaos. Let’s avoid it where we can. Good enough, I guess, but it’s unlikely that any mocking actually occurred. Certainly, we should avoid madness and chaos, but let us always consider everyday conversation, as well. ---

I figured I only had a 95% chance of spelling faux pas correctly without looking it up, so I just went completely in the other direction entirely.
