This player (who had treatened another player in the UN forum a little over a week ago) has a questionable post I'd like to call to a moderators attention.

He claims it isn't a personal attack, but given his / her recent history and the post, it might be worth keeping an eye on.

that seems like a personal attack to me.

Sorry I don't see this as questionable. It merely sounds as though the person is playing devil's advocate and is debating the other persons view. It wasn't harshly worded and seemed almost jovial in it's suggestion to normalize one's view by visiting a strip club. A lively debate could be fostered with this person if you don't take the comments as a personal attack

I believe this player has a series of puppets, because here is another post from a short while ago:

That is clearly flamebaiting.

The variations I've seen are:
Asshelmetta, Asshelmetti, and Asshelmets.

Making an observation about somebody else's sex life is hardly (in my opinion) a polite thing to do. In fact, it shouldn't even be part of a debate. I'd call it a flame and if a mod were to look over a host of the various "Asshelmet??" inspired posts, I'd say they all cut pretty close to the line.

What I don't want to see if one player playing it close to flaming open the door for other players to cross that line.
