To be honest I can't even remember where this was going anymore. Yeah its nice to be nice but should never be required. The best part is you can call somebody a dick for calling somebody a dick if you think it was unfair. Or you could put it a nice way. I like the idea that everyone speaks their minds here.
For people like jstrodle many of his posts came across as some kind of attempt to be condescending to people. Giving people grief for not reading enough of a certain book and all that. I think he's fair game. If you come to the world of adults and act like an ass you might get called on it. I like to think 9 times out of 10 its all taken in peoples stride or they soon grow a thicker skin. The other one blows up causing a lot of drama and entertainment before ending up in the Staff Log.
