It is and he is not outside of the bounds of the rules by doing it. You, and others, are outside of the bounds of the rules by taking up direct attacks against another member. That's a messy road to tread and I know from past experience that letting it slide is messier than telling you guys to follow the rules.

No. We wouldn't.

Quote:Now resolve it that way, resolve it your way or wait for some poor bastard whos stupid enough to rise to his bullshit to force you to resolve it the messy way but either way this will eventually be resolved.
You think so? I think the resolution will be everyone stops being butthurt about differing opinions or just leaves. That's what always happens.
