Oh my God, I can't believe you reported this to moderation as a flame. Awesome. :p
You do realize that he was talking about me, do you?
The worst you could find in there for yourself would be if you assumed yourself to be the one with the verbal diarrhea. By all means, go ahead and do so, but I hardly would call that a flame even in the best of circumstances, and certainly not in this one. :p

IMHO, that ( like many of the other posts in this particular thread ) constitutes what might be called a "friendly insult." Since all the parties know each other, are friendly with each other, and have a habit of trading "friendly insults," I definitely don't think any action is warranted.

No, he wasnt talking about you. I said you werent open minded and he said if someone (me in this case) is open minded to verbal diarrhea (the posts that you were dismissing as racist and non-sense), he/she shouldn't be surprised when it turns out he/she (me in this case) has shit for brains....
Edit: Actually he was also insulting Cabra West and Neu Leonstein who were answering Fannytopia's posts (hence keeping an open mind to a degree) as opposed to your dismissive stance....

Laerod and I arent friends. Doesnt "shit for brains" constitude a personal attack, ad-hominem? He could have put himself better, I wasnt insulting or flamebaiting him in anyway....

Being openminded to everything gets you nowhere.
The quotation marks were meant to make it look more like a citation of a word of wisdom. The "you" in the post refers to anyone reading it. This was my intent.
I am aware that "intent" isn't what you get judged by, and in retrospect I can understand how someone can misconstrue what I posted. I have refrained from posting in this thread before because I didn't want to start a discussion. Now that it seems to be getting underway, I think it would be best to stop it and either a) wait for a moderator decision administering punishment that I deserve or b) let the thread die.
I don't think this has gone unnoticed to moderation, and the two most plausible reasons I can come up with why there hasn't been a ruling yet is that the mods are either busy, or they think the issue is not worthy of a ruling. Either way, the best thing to do is to wait.

However you didnt post this "message of wisdom" in vacuum and in the context, given the previous posts, you were referring to me and some others as brainless.
