Rule Changes + New Restrictions

[Angrboda]

Thank you for your answers, John. I wasn't trying to chastise you, just trying to point out that a discussion like this can be very volatile, and if we don't all try hard, it can easily get out of hand, to the detriment of any potential good that might have resulted. There is an interfaith dialogue going on here, so there's plenty of kindling lying about if you want to start a fire.

So can I say that he's either an idiot or a troll? That's what he said to me, but you don't tell him to cool it. You see, both formally and informally, there is a double standard at work. You're part of it and don't even realize it.

I'm not up to speed on the old rules yet, John, much less the new. My guess, without making an official ruling is that yes, you're free to insult him and call him a tard if you like, God knows you likely wouldn't be alone in that desire. What I would say is, however, that replying in kind, though not an infraction, is also likely not going to be one of the more productive steps you can take toward your ostensible goals here.



(On the other hand, if you do decide to insult him, I can offer you some pointers on how to be most effective toward that goal.)

(ETA: Oh, and no, there is no double standard here. But keep it up, funny boy. Do you know my god?)
