He didn't just "pull his gun" because he saw you walking down the street, he did it because you were starting to throw manure into the thread.Actually, people do own the Interwebtubes. All that information flows over physical lines, is stored in physical servers. And Moruss owns Enworld; you are absolutely not entitled to be here. You are here at his sufferance. You have no right to be here, nothing entitles you to post on ENWorld. It is contingent upon your good behavior. You are like a guest in his house at a big party. Merric has been at that party for a really long time and has repeatedly shown that he's a good guy and contributes- he brings some beer and helps clean up the mess- so responding to his trying to give you a constructive suggestion the way you did is... not helpful.  If your response to "Hey dude, chill" is "R U an admin??", you're not only going to shut down most of the conversations you might have, but you'll end up with a reputation as... wait for it... a troll. And eventually, instead of engaging with you, people will just report your posts as trolling, and that doesn't help the conversation at all. None of it. Or, you know, you could take the suggestion as it was intended- as a helpful hint as to the social contract here in Moruss' house, at Moruss' party- and just chill out. Approach things in a less confrontational way. Or else don't be surprised when you get this kind of response. But this kind of sarcastic reply isn't going to win you any points when the other guys are trying to be reasonable.</blockquote>
