Read this and digest guys, OK, some posters can be a pain in the ar$e, but if your truthfull, you were most likley a little $hit once upon a time too!
Flaming is something that we have nearly all been guilty of (on this or other forums) and it is not big, or clever. What is much bigger and more clever is to just ignore posts if they put your back up, or, if its a personal attack, PM the offender, piont out your displeasure and ask them to kindly edit their post, hopefully before some other ar$e quotes it!
I think we all come on the forum for some enjoyment, therefore its not really worth getting banned for your own lack of control.
If you bite, your are encouraging the less mature element to bite back, bullying in posts may seem quite tame really, but its still bullying, and nobody likes a bully!
