Oh trust me, I recognize that the other guy isn’t exactly the best one to have a discussion. But there is a line crossed here with respect to vulgarities and how personal the attack got. That’s all.
I’m not deleting your message, I’m not banning you, I’m not doing anything in particular. But I feel like posting an official warning in my moderator voice is necessary for the long-term benefits of this discussion space.
I’m juggling different needs here. The post you’re talking about came first, and in isolation a singular personal attack from a singular person isn’t a big deal, especially if the other guy brushes it off. But now we have a 2nd personal attack with a bit more vulgar language, and now I the moderator needs to step in and warn people that things are getting too far. Understand? Its not about what others have done, its the fact that you’re the 2nd person, so its already getting out of hand and we’re crossing a line into a dogpiling. That’s not beneficial to anyone.
Its an official warning because I don’t think you’re necessarily deserving of any official punishment. But this kind of dogpiling is behavior I’d like to minimize if at all possible.
“He won’t pay you, stop sucking already” one comment down.
Yeah thanks for the warning, I’m sure it matters.

Fair enough, you’ve explained your position well.
