Calling them assholes when they were clearly joking is overstepping the mark, no? http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=14632261&postcount=101

Ooo... I get to slap a different person on the wrist. :) I don't think I've ever had to deal with him before.

Completely absurd. I'll be sure to remember that mocking the way another person talks is okay as long as you say it was a joke afterwards.

I kind of want to find a post you made directed at me a while back where you flamed the shit out of me for questioning a MOD ruling.

If you intended for that outcome, then design your post in that manner; that's why we have smileys. In any case, I only see what is written, and I make my judgment on that. Res ipsa loquitor.

of course, to those newbies who read this, A smilie is NOT protection that any flame/bait/trolling post will not be ruled as such and the poster warned/carded.

Right Mods?

Precisely. But it is a handy tool when trying to display sarcasm in certain situations where people would need the trigger. Thus it becomes important to tread carefully at first then once you're comfortable and are able to have a feel then you step out of the confines of the newb ghetto and experience the culture.

Surely judging by the posting styles of both posters, you'd be able to tell they were joking? I can't even see what was offensive about BE's post anyway.
