Isn't the a rule against flaming, but we know you'll turn a blind eye to that.
Yeah, hey, you'd definitely know more about the rules than the mods hired to enforce them.
It's like this:
Quote:No Flaming
Flaming is where a person makes a post that is either entirely or mostly made up of insulting language towards another member, and does not form part of a discussion between those members. Generally speaking, the occasional insult thrown at a person will not result in a violation of this rule, as discussions based around certain subjects tend to get heated for those involved and the use of insults is forgivable (and sometimes expected) in these situations. Additionally, staff will take into consideration the context surrounding the insult when making a decision. This rule is intended to prevent people from using the forum just to attack other members, or to bully opponents into submission. Members that have previously demonstrated that they are here to participate in civil conversation may be shown leniency if they run afoul of this rule. Punishments for violating this rule are verbal warnings, regular warnings, and varying lengths of bans, depending on the severity of the flaming and whether the member has violated the rule before.
Threats and threatening language are strictly forbidden, and any post that is considered a threat will only be exempt from punishment at staff discretion.
Insults are not flaming, where they come as part of a larger discussion, packaged with actual content. The identification of which is up to staff discretion, as this is a subjective thing that we need to take on a case by case basis.
All of the quotes you posted have additional content above and beyond the insult. Your sig is just the insult and nothing else, and you post it in multiple threads. You can't pretend they're remotely equivalent under the rules, and in fact I find it funny that you'll scour resources for single words that you think prove you right when it suits you, but ignore large swathes of what the rules actually say whenever it doesn't. You sure have a selective attention span there, Huggy.
Quote:You guys seem to be able to dish out the insults, but whine when YOUR OWN words are quoted back...pathetic.
When our own words are quoted back, out of context and with the intent to misrepresent, why wouldn't we get upset?
