You did mention his name again with the comment, so I edited it.

Since everything is so technical, please don't mind if I FAIRLY point out a boo boo that you probably didn't miss while you read through his post:



Once again:



And just in good spirit from now on, I'll PM you if I ever see anything that's unsuitable to be read.

FYI, I made sure that my post just now was void of anything insulting, so I'd be doubly surprised if it were edited yet again.

And no, I have never picked on those two for spelling, nor do I intentionally go around calling people XXXXers and other anatomical parts.

The other quote although a bit rude, never mentioned anyone by name and I did comment on it. The reference to some of the pm,s we get, was a general comment regarding moderating threads and not directed at anyone.

If his mentioned name was the only problem, then I trust you have no problem with me re-editing back to what I wrote BARRING the mentioning of his name.

I see. It would seem that my mistake here was not using the profane word but rather mentioning the Canreef user since you only commented on what TheReeferGuy wrote but never really took overt action in editing out his choice of linguistics. If I'm wrong about this, then it would be safe to assume that next time I read that thread, it will have been edited by you for "profanity."

i still see no editing being done about this matter

does this mean it is ok for us to use profanity as long as we us"$" instead of the letter"S"

pretty sure we are all old enough to figure out what it means

Unbelievable. Fine, I edited out all reference,s to that "word". I,m tired of arguing.

And I wish this thread to still remain open for the sake of constructive discussions.

I think there are a lot of people that like to argue simply for the sake of arguing.

I agree and I may be one of them. But the correct boards should be used for that particular purpose.

Let us, for a moment, consider the title of this thread.

It's ironic (but perhaps should have been expected) that this thread proved the very point the original poster was trying to make!

Let's all simmer. Step back a bit.
