Well, I think we're going into an extremely grey area here. What Dep said was borderline antagonizing. Where do we draw the line, though?
BTW, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU BLOODRAYNE AND THE FOLLOWING IS JUST AN EXAMPLE!
For instance, if I said:
"Bloodrayne, you really annoy me. As far as I can see, you've been irking people for a long time. Why don't you ltry to make your posts relavent or go somewhere else?"
That's an opinion, although being a strong and possibly hurtful one. Being blunt upsets people sometimes.
Then again, if I posted:
"Bloodrayne, you're a fucking annoying idiot. All you do around here is piss people off with your idiotic shit. Either learn to not be such a fucktard, or fuck off?"
Well, I said basically the same thing, but that time it was obviously to try to bait you into a flame war. It's still the same opinion, but it's intentionally malicious & hurtful.
Where do we draw the line? I don't know. I'm sure cheebs is upset because he got banned for breaking the rules, and now he sees what is in his opinion breaking the rules going unpunished.
I feel what Dep said is borderlining between the two examples I offered above. Whatever we decide, we need to think long and hard about it. If this is going to be the example, it's going to need to stick or the whole thing is pointless. I don't want to have to sit through a bunch of people spewing bile at each other, but I also want to be able to tell someone they're being annoying without fear of being banned.
