I request that the following post be looked into for flame:

And, in handing out its reinforcement of the status quo, the resolution gives an overly egotistical essay and a set of rules that amount to meaningless gibberish to hide the fact it is doing nothing. Top it all off, the resolution itself tries, in wording, to make some nations feel bad about how they govern their citizens and others feel superior, which can be interpretted to be a form of trolling. Considering this resolution is nothing but opinions, it is really one of the lowest things a person can do just to make themselves feel superior.
My Case: (DLE's post is after DLE was warned to "back off" in post #57 (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8962685&postcount=57))Yes, the majority of this post seems to be attacking the resolution, which is somewhat legitimate according to forum rules as I know them to be. However, in the last line, DLE connects everything he has said before about the resolution to me: "it is really one of the lowest things a person can do just to make themselves feel superior". "It" refers to the "egotistical", "trolling", and "making nations feel bad about how they govern their citizens" modifiers before, and "a person" can only be the resolution author.
My contention is that if I say "Mynation is such a crappy nation. Geez, it's evil and stupid. How could any player stoop to having such attributes?", I'm equating the player with the nation, and, in fact, attacking the player. That's what I feel DLE's doing. If he had stopped before that last line I would not have brought this up here.
I have not responded in this thread since DLE was told to back off (post 57) (and I was told that I was taking advantage of Vastiva's hospitality). This is unprovoked.
I request that mods look into this. I respect whatever decision they make in this case. I'm just tired of him going out of his way to attack me personally.
