There's a word for that. Actually, there are several words for it, but the one I'm thinking of at the moment is "stupid."

Much as I'm enjoying being silly and joking around about the loser teabaggers

I was warned and suspended awhile back (rightly so) for unwarranted flaming against KoL. Why haven't these people received warnings for calling people "stupid" or "losers?" Given that a fair number of NSGers, myself included, attended these things, these are direct attacks on us.

Also, accusing us of "racism" is in itself a pretty serious flame.

I was deservedly punished for insulting another player, calling them "stupid," etc. It's only fair that these people be treated the same.

Context is the word we're using here. The mantra of "attack the post, not the poster" seems to be in practice here. Those two lines on their own would be enough for action, but given the text that precedes and proceeds, I find myself considering context. It in my view is not actionable.

It seems that Mura is calling your post stupid, not you. That's how I read it.

Bottle's post taken in context is vague and general.

Thanks for looking it over.
