What is the nature of a personal insult? The ol' rolleyes smiley.

Reasonable, maybe, but against the rules here, definitely.

Ogre, so you think it should be ok to tell someone to “fuck off” outside the pit? It’s not a personal insult after all, you’re merely telling someone to seek out another thread.

I get the impression that some people are unable to fathom the spirit of a rule, and instead get hung up on technicalities. Why is this stuff so difficult?

We are dealing with someone who thinks the rolleyes is an insult, but “stuff it up your ass” is not. The reason is clear.

We’ve gotten this far in this thread, and no one has pointed out the Ogre DIDN’T get an official warning, but rather just told by twickster to knock it off?

Dude - calm the fuck down. It doesn’t help your “I’m not overreacting or misinterpreting anything” OP when you…overreact and misinterpret everything.

The mods are kind of overmodding lately because the poor widdle Chicago Reader/Creative Loafing is probably being tarted up for being unloaded by Atalaya, and Ed’s hiding behind the mods this time, because he looked like such an ass last time he stuck his nose in it.

That’s a paddlin’.

No, it’s a closing, now this is just people throwing stuff at one another.

If you want to fight one another, take it to the Pit.

If you want to complain about why we do what we do, start another thread in ATMB. Try to bring some evidence with you; if it’s just your opinion it’ll need to be in IMHO.
