Ferrous Oxide was actually doing a very good job of being stubbornly defiant of logic and reason until he posted this:

It was unreasonable and way out of the blue; it was wholly unnecessary.

Is that sort of comment really grounds for being reprimanded? :confused:

I sure hope it's not. Granted it's not the most mature way to go about things, but if calling someone something as harmless as "lazy bastard" is grounds for gasping and such I think half the mods would have been warned a long time ago. Grow some skin, people. I'm actually interested in the moderator decision here.

My objection is to the fact that Cabra had been in the discussion already, and suddenly FeO2 decides to get belligerent for no apparent reason. I don't see any evidence that it was meant in a "friendly" belligerent manner, as "bastard" can be used. Had I seen evidence of such banter, I'd never have started this thread. If it's truly something that shouldn't be reported, then I'll be glad to withdraw my objection, but it didn't read to me as being anything but unnecessary and sincere (nevermind the fact that FeO2 can't seem to be bothered to post sources for any of his trollish posits, and that's all Cabra was asking for).

I don't think Cabra West needs a champion and she isn't thin-skinned. But why leap instantly to "lazy bastard" and mean it without provocation?

Eh...just difference of opinions. I've said my lot...I'll naturally let the mods sort it out.

If he won't back up his own arguments and curt about it when asked, is it really worth debating?
