Message: <blockquote data-quote="Piratecat" data-source="post: 2862509" data-attributes="member: 2">Having people disagree with you is a fact of life in the rule forum. The problem comes when you start taking it personally, or get sarcastic due to past interaction with another member who you usually disagree with. That's what we're seeing here.If you plan to be rude or insulting, even in a really clever way that you think will slip under the moderators' notice, then you shouldn't click on 'submit reply.'  It's pretty much that simple. We expect people to self-moderate and be adults here, and we also expect them to abide by the spirit of the site's rules. This is one case where the RAW is less important; we saw that in last year's nonsense where some members were having fun straddling the line and goading other people, just to watch them get banned. That's not something we have a lot of tolerance for at this point.As mods, we try to be low impact and give people the benefit of a doubt. If you find you're getting warned, though, please take a long and hard look at your posting style and reduce your pugnaciousness if necessary. That's by far the best solution.I don't mean to hijack this thread. Email me if this needs clarification.</blockquote>
