pointless personal attacks

Rather than debate the issues at hand, the blessed chris seems to have instead decided to pointlessly attack and flame other posters for minor grammar mistakes.

Notably

and here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12640429&postcount=265)

Surely there is no point to this in a thread on a totally unrelated topic other than to flame.

Moderators only, please.

I beg to differ. I'm doing both.

Anyway, Fass gets to pick people up on grammar without getting grassed on.

I do believe I asked for this thread to be moderator only.

Pursuant to post the "One-Stop Rule Shop" thread which may be found here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8784654&postcount=5):

"Mods Only": Players may request that only moderators or admins respond to threads in Moderation. Players should not respond in these threads.

Neo. I would simply ignore the grammar comments. They are a weak attempt to distract the argument.

Jocabia has pointed out TBCs own problems with it. :D

The accused poster is an exception to the general rule. Players may always speak up in their own defense.

That said, your defense of "he's getting away with it, why can't I?" is specious, The Blessed Chris. Knock it off with the attacks on grammar, especially when they're thinly veiled attacks on the player. We serve a multinational audience, and there is no "must speak English perfectly" rule here.

Apologies then, I was unaware of that exception.
