See, now you're being insulting. Did you not look up the definition of idiot? We have valid arguments in that these people could present more legible posts. If we were idiots we probably wouldn't care.

Technically lazyness doesn't always equal rudeness no. In this instance however, by being lazy and not typing a full message, when they are capable of it - people are being rude in that others here will have difficulty reading their message. As someone said, you post on a message board with the hope of someone reading your message, so if you are too lazy to even type a legible one how can that not be construed as rude? It's almost like "Hey everyone, I couldn't be arsed to type a proper message, but I want you all to reply anyway!"

Actually Ice merely made a comment, yes the comment was off-topic, but he wasn't the one who started to argue and make the whole thread go off topic.

No, still opinions.

A forumcop would surely be a moderator who actually has power to do something - not a poster who makes a comment, to which other people start an off-topic argument.

You might not (in your own righteous way of thinking) realize that yourself but here ya go. More people thought you were rude.
Yet those people were happy enough to read a post that wasn't easy to read, and they didn't think that was rude?

Well for one you called him an idiot in your last message, and you've just called him arrogant, proud and stubborn - based merely on the fact that he likes to be able to read a message which is well written.
