Boru, Losty, I just said, Nuff said. Ya-all are bringing it up again. I'm done with the topic;  Jormungandr stepped-in and assisted in the proper explication of the rule.. Losty, do not order me about as if I were your peon, that shit does not work with an American, and just gets one's ire up.  Will you ever learn to be sweet at all times to new members ? Oh, Losty, you are so so sweet, just a little sweetie pie...Negatio

sorry bout your luck, cupcake

Anyway, moving on.

Khem, jorm, someone who isn’t too busy, will someone please explain the OP to me in dumb person terms so I can form an opinion on it.

The problem is you're looking at that sentence alone without reference to anything else; ie you're not seeing it in the context of the rules as a whole;

1. It is defined elsewhere in the rules what constitutes unacceptable interpersonal behaviour; eg trolling and flaming.
2. Carte blanche means 'blank cheque' or 'free hand'... that is, with context in square brackets "Note: that this does not give you a carte blanche to act in an insulting or rude manner in other areas of the forums [ie with impunity from the normal rules for dealing with unacceptable behaviour, as defined elsewhere in the rules... eg trolling and flaming].
3. And where the first part of the rules for the Introductions forum is saying essentially that the threshold is lowered... so elsewhere in the forum it would require trolling and/or flaming to merit staff action, but in the Introductions forum, even rude and insulting behaviour that does not rise to the level of trolling/flaming will not be tolerated.

The rules allow for the fact that people get angry and arguments can get heated, and in that context, insults can fly... that's just part of being human. It's when it goes too far, or doesn't add anything to the discussion, that it starts to head into trolling/flaming territory, and requires staff action.

You keep wanting to be helpful when he is dead set on being imperious and indignant.

I keep bouncing back and forth between being helpful and being a dick lol. It’s hard not to get frustrated though. I especially don’t like being condescended to and told I should be sweet. It’s almost as bad as when random men tell me I’d be prettier if I smiled. Like, fuck you dude. Lol.

Yeah, I hate hearing all this whimpering and bitching about the unfair, irrational staff and rules.  Somebody get this guy some big boy panties already.

The thing is this, if the situations were reversed, neggy would be saying "No, look, it says I can right here. Your law has empowered me. You're just to ignorant to understand.". 

And he has played that card in the past.

The phrase “sorry bout your luck” is sometimes used to tell someone they’re not going to get what they want. In this case I was referring to me being sweet. I am sweet when I want to be but I am not required to be sweet.
