This seems a bit unnecessary, no?
Why don't you? Being blind does not effect the health of the mother, or anyone else for that matter.
Seriously, grow the hell up and stop being a dickhead about things that people disagree with you on.
Read his behavior in the entire thread. He basically showed up completely riled cheering on anyone he agreed with and attacking everyone else and now tells me to "grow the hell up and stop being a dickhead". Would a "calm down" be in order or am I wrong?

Fris, a quick question concerning that post.
isn't Flamebaiting also against the rules. so if people are purposly 'baiting' someone, are they not also in the wrong?
and what exactly is the difference between Flamebaiting and Trolling... or are they one and the same?

He didn't say 'flamebaiting'. He said 'baiting'.
There is a distinction between 'baiting' and 'flamebaiting'. The former is common, and is part of virtually every thread on a serious topic in this forum. It's a common technique used by people of every type and persuasion to post their side in a positive way and put the other side in a bad light, as a way to draw the argument in the direction they want to go.
The latter is a bit harder to define, but it's a combination of the prior technique and directed flaming. Having read only the referenced posts and a few surrounding it, I thought that Corneliu flaming response was out of proportion to the bait that invoked it. Given that I'd seen that tendency in other response of his in other threads, I gave him an in-thread smack on the wrist, which is the mildest of mod warnings.
If you feel you have been unjustly unaccused, by all means report yourself in the mod forum. We'll be glad to warn you.
I really don't ever like to see people flame out so to speak. I can say honestly I've never intentionally gotten anyone to flame me. I try to get people to make mistakes in their argument, bait them into following a bad path. I don't bait people into going afoul of the mods. If I thought they were that far from being worth debating, I simply wouldn't debate with them.
