Sorry, DaMan, but if you saw my post the other night when I locked the very first thread that I ever locked, I chided myself as well as anyone else for violating the very Forum Conduct Codes that I was enforcing in that thread.
Since then, I have refrained from repeating that pattern.
Haven't you noticed?
Here's the substance of what I said the other evening (Edited to remove the link and replace with my, ahem, speech)
I'm going to do something I have never done on this Board before. I'm going to lock this thread.
And in so doing, I ask you to review the following items from the Forum Conduct Code:
6) Pure trolling. Either to piss someone off or simply for your personal enjoyment. If you're here to cause trouble, it will be a very short stay.
7) No personal attacks towards ANYONE. If you have a problem with someone, then take it offline with them. If it's with a member of the staff or a moderator, then contact someone from the Senior Staff. Attacking a person, ANY PERSON, in a non-joking manner (clearly visible as a joke) will not be tolerated. Joking and teasing are fine, but if you cross the line, apologize before things get worse. This includes provoking someone into an attack.
In your previous posts, I have not called these items to your attention, simply because I felt that I was just as involved as you were.
Much to my everlasting shame.
But this 'free ride' is over for the two of us.
And maybe a few others, as well.
If you have any problems with this, then please contact a Senior Staff member and make your complaint.

So if I ever troll you or enrage in personal insults with you, or anyone else, please bring it to my attention immediately!
I've already been humiliated once today by you in reminding me that Merkava tanks continue to be vunerable, contrary to my predictions.
I wouldn't dare take a chance on a second such humiliation.
But do take what I said in that thread very seriously, because this is supposed to be a fun place to visit.
Lately it's become like the locker rooms at Auschwitz!
