Well said, Elvis. Well said.


I don't think we have the communication problem here, SoSick - and the weight of my statement should be reinforced by the fact that everyone (with the exception of you) seems to agree. You simply need to be more polite, exercise some restraint and stop treating other people like rubbish. No one deserves to be called a pig and I know I don't deserve being told to shut up. It's not a misinterpretation of words. If you called someone a pig, you called them a pig. If you told someone to shut up, you told them to shut up. I even found an old post where you attributed another poster's excitement about a subject to little children learning how to use the toilet! This is absolutely uncalled for and the only reason I'm wasting the time to say any of this is because no administrator has seen fit to either give you a warning or simply ban you outright.

Now imagine if I called a girl a tramp and when she gets offended I have the audacity to tell her "Oh, no, not tramp like TRAMP, I'm talking about the 16th century use of the word which implies <insert bullshit excuse here>." This seems to be your strategy. It's called bait and switch. You lure someone in deliberately to offend them and then when they, obviously, get offended you try to come up with some absurd malarkey saying that they just don't understand what you mean. You should know full well in advance how being called a pig will be received by others - actually trying to explain your rationale (or lack thereof) is only adding insult to injury. It would've been better had you apologized or, at the very least, said nothing at all.

Flaming others is always unacceptable behavior, even if someone started by flaming you first (which nobody has done!)

I'm actually going to put a please before this, though I don't feel you deserve it. Please, I'm asking you. Stop insulting other people.
