So saying “Your mama wears combat boots” is being a jerk, but, for example, when Der Trihs wished death on every American serviceman that wasn’t being a jerk? Holy fucking shit. You guys have officially “twankled the crescendo moon,” if you know what I mean.
It wasn’t what you said, per se. It was a function of the conversation between you and Irishman. Responding in the manner you did to Irishman was unnecessary, and made it personal, which is not permitted in ATMB.

So unnecessary personal remarks are not permitted? Is that written down somewhere? if I can find, say, ten examples of unnecessary personal remarks in ATMB going unwarned will you admit that you just pulled that explanation out of your ass?
Don’t you know by now that the emperors really don’t like their lack of clothing pointed out? Or are you trying to be the next mswas?
What I did is not what he did by several orders of magnitude. As to the emperor thingy, you seem to be right.
Oh, and Lute, your marigolds are kinda stinky. If you know what I mean.
No doubt, but continuing to point out their lack of clothing could yield the same result.
If it does it does. I’m not going to make big deal out of not caring like he did, but if this crazily inconsistent moderation keeps a goin’ on I’ll probably not mind leaving too much.
And your shoelaces look like they were tied by an Armenian.
“But Mom, Billy got away with it” stops working when you’re, like, 5. Grow up.
Stay frosty Contraptual, is that…Combat boots I see in your mother’s closet?
Why does this bring back memories of carpooling the kids to the YMCA, with the one neighbor kid constantly going, “I’m not touching you. I’m not touching you. I’m not touching you. I’m not touching you…”?
Because you desperately wished you could smack that kid across the mouth and now you figuratively have the power to?
Well for starters, your unnecessary and personal remarks are noted. Secondly, when the topic at hand is what kind of behavior is allowed by rule, whether Billy got away with it is most certainly pertinent.
If we are going to employ the “what a five year old would be insulted by” rule, then none of this would have happened. Or did the combat boots comment twist your shorts as well? If so, I want to go on record as saying that none of your mamas actually wear combat boots. Accept for the ones who are astronauts. Which your mama isn’t.
Reported as being unnecessary and personal.
Did you really need to fucking swear in the fucking topic title of a fucking ATMB topic? Just fucking asking.
Because, like the carpool driver, the moderators refuse to actually lay down and enforce reasonable rules and instead act in an unpredictable and uneven manner?
That’s it! I’m turning this van around!

We have, indeed, asked that thread titles be safe for work outside of the Pit. Accordingly, I’ve edited this one, changing it from “xash, are you fucking kidding me?” to “xash, are you kidding me?”
[/moderating]
You previously identified that you thought that comment was just as insulting as the one being discussed in that thread, which also got a warning. You then deliberately used it. This means the sole purpose of your response was to be insulting. I.e. you were acting like a jerk. And, for once, someone had the balls to actually call someone on it.
Or, he was actually just teasing? Jesus Christ, – the Virgin Mary wears combat boots!!!
Those two options are not exclusive. And when has “it was just a joke” been a valid defense here?
Anyways, I expect that if it was a joke, the OP would have said so by now.
