I must've missed the memo. I thought our most endearing quality was our incessant howdoyousay posts?

Re: flames

Yes, there are only a few sorts of open flames we accept here... ;)

OMG That's a NONO!!!!

But it's art!

I wonder if you could argue that internet flames are performance art …

Here's my guess.
To those people who said offensive things: you know who you are.
Is it really that difficult? I think the point is not to test where the limit is, but to keep in mind a principle of treating other people with some respect and not being rude to them. It's pretty simple.

[allegrox]

I didn't think any of those were really unacceptable.
I was just trying to make the point that it's the spirit of the comment that matters. And yes, I know that's highly subjective.
I don't know where goodboi draws the line either, but I don't expect such a line to be so clearly defined.

I hope I didn't offend the person. I really didn't mean to if I did.

i just like how people started commenting about him as though he wouldn't be reading it, much like when people irl discuss a person as though they weren't there, while the subject of the conversation is within earshot.

in any language or mode of communication, it's just rude.
