As for "me being me", first let me apologize for the harshness. I had a few beers in me last night, which led to the childishness. That's no excuse, of course. I do tend to come down on this kind of thing when I think it's warranted, but I can probably deride someone without calling names and such.

I don't want some sort of different treatment from the mods when it comes to the forum guidelines. I get what SS is saying, to maintain the site as a civil place, me calling someone an idiot doesn't help matters. So my bad, I take back the name calling. Skinznut I apologize.

However, let me say, and I think it's a fair point, that the mods didn't take any action here because on some level public derision of skinsnut was called for. Not the name-calling, but he definitely deserved to have it publicly noted that his opinion was ridiculous. He deserved to be painted as someone who failed to think.

I've been banned before. I won't go into specifics, but Matty leveled the boom on me because I was both breaking the forum guidelines and being unreasonable. And it was a fair move. In this case, I broke the forum guidelines. Now I'm not saying whether or not Matty or the mods thought I was being reasonable, but all I know is I see a big difference from this instance and the time I got banned.

So, sorry for the namecalling. I'll do better to keep that stuff out of the forums.
