What is a person who feels so wounded by an anonymous "personal attack" on the internet, that they have to report it to ANOTHER anonymous person on the internet?
People say stuff. People who can't handle it, can always click the little "x". Sometimes, it's all in the family. Sometimes it's an idiot. Never say anything that you wouldn't say to someone's face. In that vein, alot of the the Truther talk would result in a punch in the nose -yet it is more acceptable here than to call someone a "fucking retard". If one demonstrates weakness, there's nothing wrong with labeling that person as "weak", or even "pathetically weak". |

I got a warning for a "personal attack" when I claimed that people in general were bigoted (as if that is an insulting word to begin with) for opposing gay marriage.
I see people get away personal attacks on me and others all the time, even when the report button is used. It's pretty inconsistent IMHO. |

This is, at least theoretically, A GOD DAMN GUN WEBSITE, not the TV lounge of a freshman dorm at some liberal arts college. 'Well but why should I get in trouble for calling someone a dick? What if I call him an engorged male reproductive organ?" Don't call people names and you won't have to see which moderator or staff comes up on the roulette wheel of the COC to decide if you crossed the line.
I can tell you, for example, that there are racist or sexually explicit names you can use that I'll ding you for, but that some other staff here might not even know what you mean. Throw the dice and take your chances.
