Dingbat be abusive? Enessese word of the use be hard to stand under.{Emphases inserted}You fail at following basic forum rules. You have an Official Warning for flamebaiting, given that this is not your first problem with flamebaiting. Expect to be given an invitation to the rest of the Internet if you keep it up.

Context, context, context, ZachsMind. If the use of "dingbat" were actionable by itself, I'd have been permabanned long since, and so would half my countrymen, because it can be used fondly and admiringly, and we do.

In this case, it plainly wasn't. Such is the versatility and volatility of NS posters that it's not difficult to imagine circumstances in which "Your mother's a very nice lady" is flamebait (NOTE: this is not an invitation). Let's not get into niggling over specific words.
