How is this thread not flamebaiting (on the basis of racism)? Is it because a Mod posted it?

The eye-rolling smiley indicates that the preceding phrase is sarcastic, and not at all serious. Which is in line with the guidelines. As opposed to posting pure text and leaving the tone and meaning open to interpretation. This has been said many times before, and not just by me.
You can hardly accuse me of not knowing the nuance of every rule.

Of course you know the nuance of every rule. You are the rule. Now, I'm probably gonna get myself banned for posting this, but yes, TG, this thread was a flamebait, especially when combined with this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11413048&postcount=13).
You can play nuances all you like, but a flamebait's a flamebait.

What does Saddam Hussein's role as the leader of a proxy force got to do with flamebait?

:confused: Maybe it's just me, but I don't get it... How's the OP combined with that post flamebaiting?

OK, whatever. Rolling eyes smiley overcomes racist comment.

Never said you didn't know them all. But the Power of Mod seemed to mean that you could break them at your leisure as well.

A truly corrupt individual would not waste time taking an ambiguously worded pot shot at the attitudes behind western exceptionalism, as an aside to mocking a specific policy failure. I think your accusation speaks more of what you want to see, than of the details of the body of rules and guidelines.

Then we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Since no one accused you of being "truly corrupt", your statement is a bit strawmanny hypotheticky. Accusing the accuser for accusing is also pretty lame. Just give yourself a verbal warning, and put this to rest.

Having woken up and seen the unpleasantness that followed in the thread, I have locked it and posted an apology (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11416991&postcount=74) for any unnecessary bad feelings caused by my unusually abrasive commentary.
I hope this resolves the problem to everyone's satisfaction.

And I apologize for flying off the handle (which almost never happens) over what I preceived to be a slight towards me. No hard feelings?

I don't believe TG had anything to apologize for. Instead, I think all those who complained ought to apologize for collectively having such a damnably dull sense of wit.
I laughed. Well, chuckled. It was funny, but elicited more of a titter than anything.

Dude, that's frightening beyond belief. I can't even explain the level to which I am disturbed by the notion of you throwing a fluffle.......*runs to cower under the covers*

Can I just pantomime a hug or something? I don't like real ones that much.
