How complicated is “don’t insult other people?” If you are making an argument and it’s not necessary to comment on the other person, don’t make comments about the other person.

I am not playing this game. I will not play it no matter how many times you ask. So you can stop asking now.

Here we go again.

I already explained exactly what “necessary” meant. You can release the shift key.

Why should I rely on your opinion of what’s “light?” You have some very strong opinions on how everybody else should interpret your posts, but you don’t seem to put as much thought into what you are saying yourself. Everything is within the rules according to your interpretation (no matter what the people who enforce the rules say) and all comments are “light” and “humorous,” and the problem is always with everyone else- and in some cases the dictionary.

Does this?
