Flaming

I know these are mild but we keep getting him to calm down and knock off the namecalling but a couple of post later he starts right back up. At what point does it become a problem that everyone else is an idiot, retarded, moronic, sheep, a liar, delusional, etc.? I know they're all mild, but it keeps dragging the thread down into namecalling which I was under the impression the rules on flaming were designed to prevent.

When I did this he had 221 posts, 189 in this thread. Of the 189 in the thread he had all of these admittedly mild insults (except for calling two different people rapists). 49 posts containing insults and namecalling, flaming and flamebaiting to some degree, our of 189 posts. Given a portion of posts are dedicated to telling people to leave or to go read other posts, I would say about a third to a half of his total posts included flaming and flamebaiting to some degree. That's pretty significant.

Amusingly, he makes this claim several times -

"Allowed Threads

I can't tell you why they warned you, but I can tell you why I reported you.

Many in the thread were mildly flamebaiting and flaming, including you. Sometimes you were replying in kind, sometimes you were generating the insults as you did with me. Regardless, there is no other person in that thread that dedicated a full quarter of their posts to insulting people like you did. Mods rarely warn for mild insults but when there are that many, their patience generally wears thin (in my experience).

Warnings are given to end the behavior. He didn't ban you from the thread or the forums. He told you to stop insulting people. If people are insulting you, the moderation forum is here so that you may report it. Generally, mild insults are ignored unless they occur a lot. "idiot", "stupid" and "moron" generally goes unnoticed provided it doesn't become a major portion of one's participation.

You can find much about this in the One-Stop Rules Shop thread and threads that discuss the rules.

And the way I read the reply from Frisbeeteria, you were asked to stop the flaming and the ad homenim attacks. I don't think he's telling you to butt out if you have something constructive to add without insulting people.

Your best bet is to ignore insults or report them if they are bad enough. As I said in the thread, it actually adds a lot of credence to your argument when you rise above the fray and stick to the object of debate. Despite what was said in the thread, I do not come away with the impression that you are an idiot or any of the other things you were called (the insults, not the evaluations of your position).

I do come away with the impression that you have a difficult time dealing with the points people make and you resort to the fallacy of ad hominem, dismissing arguments by dismissing the person making them. If other people do that, fine, but you'll prosper by avoiding this tactic.

What jocabia means is report only the ones that are too obscene. But i do think that if someone insulst you, reply to them in the way of an actual debate and not insult them back. And if they can't move away from insults toward an actual debate, then just ignore them completely.

You warned me before Jocabia's post. So you must have read the whole thread. Didnt you notice Jerusalas and Santa Barbara's continous insults? Santa Barbara made a comment about my rectum. And Jarusalas made a comment about shooting me. Why werent they warned? Because I'm new and they are not?

The second post you quote is in poor taste, but a joke. The fourth post you quote is acceptable. The rest are isolated examples of relatively minor rule violations.

The fact is, if half a dozen people make ~1 flamy post in a couple of flamy threads, and one person makes ~50 which represents a large chunk of their recent forum activity, it is no surprise that the majority of the blame will fall on that one individual. It is not unfair, it is common sense.

People posting in that thread have already had a hint dropped that their conduct is not OK. That thread may in fact be locked soon if the standard of debate does not improve. But it is entirely appropriate that the official warning goes to you.
