Flaming?

So now it's ok for me to be called a "fool?" Sigh.

You seem to have missed the joke. Fiddlebottoms said that only fools had quotes in their sigs, all the while having but a quote in his own sig. Innocent self-deprecating humour.

Then Laerod came along and said that only fools have sigs, not having a sig himself, lobbing the innocent joke back to Fiddlebottoms.

There is no flaming here. I myself have a sig, and I don't feel flamed at all, especially given the context here. Not to mention that I don't see "fool" to be all that flamish at all - the mods have ruled before that "idiot" isn't, so I fail to see why "fool" would be any different.

It seemed to be a joke. Out of all of the posts I've seen of Fiddlebottoms, majority of them have been joking, so no action will be taken.
