I will take on the warning but seriously is this even a flame? I was saying that he needed to calm down it is only a thread about a TV show and who really cares if it is one made by Willy.
Is it really jut the use of the term 'fuck'? I really can't see this as a flame or a flame bait.

Circumstances, BE. What's fine in the pub with your mates is a real clanger at a four-year-old's birthday party. An amiable chat thread about a TV program is more birthday-party territory -- language that's out of place ups the ante, adds unnecessary heat and changes people's responses.

I see what you're saying, Ard. However, I think the ruling was a bit excessive. If the thread were as jovial as you're suggesting and the thread originator found a problem with Blouman's use of the f-bomb, I'd suggest the thread originator tell Blouman to edit the word out of the post.

Not a bad idea at all, but then, hindsight's always 20/20 vision.
BTW, no harm done, but I think you missed this --
