In the end I decided on "Name calling and general derogatory statements" not because it was necessarily the most fitting penalty, but because it is applicable and the number of warning points seem more appropriate given the nature of the infraction (IMO at least).
I will leave it up to Rich as to whether or not he wants to move/remove this topic, or modify my approach to the problem.  |
Well you know being that I see worse every day I really didn't see it as name calling. But then again I haven't been around here much so I am really jaded on the whole name calling issue.
Though I do understand that if you do call someone a name you are fined and suspended. Not a bad concept really as it will encourage more to post. Though I bet a lot of people have bitten through their tounge's due to this (myself being included in that group). Kind of neat trying to tread lightly and keep things on the up and up though, makes me think and knock some cobwebs off the old grey matter.
