No Im not. In fact, according to yourself, its ok to call people idiots when you mean they're "senseless". You even looked up the word yourself which is the only reason I used the word in this case. You approved it, mate.

It's almost like "Hey everyone, I couldn't be arsed to type a proper message, but I want you all to reply anyway!".

Thats your opinion. Theres weak points in your claim. Other factors that could have had influence on, why the original poster according to you, didnt write a legible post. You claim. Its not fact.

Its well-known that once an off-topic post/comment is posted, its more than likely that more will follow, especially when the comment was "extreme" as you put it earlier. He should know this.

"argument" in the dictionary:
2c. A set of statements in which one follows logically as a conclusion from the others
- When you act rude, people will think your senseless. Its a logical conclusion.
- Being lazy have logically nothing to do with how polite/impolite you are
- Iceman wrote something not relevant to the thread topic. Logically this makes it go off-topic
This is certainly not my opinions, but logical conclusions. Thus...valid arguments, even according to the dictionary.

No, a moderator makes sure threads stay on-topic and locks them if foul language or other bashing happens. A forumcop is the diet coke of moderators. He/she primarily do in spelling and grammar, plus sometimes points out if a post is off-topic. In this case, Iceman was a forumcop.

Apparently so. I agree with them, the post wasnt rude at all.

No, it was based on his way of writing. Calling someone proud is hardly an insult. Stubborn...well he kept saying he didnt care about anything, he would keep doing it etc.etc. so stubborn is not an insulting word here. Arrogant is merely based on the fact that he did put some effort into informing me that he's been here for years, and everyone else not staying that long werent good enough etc. Again, not really insulting but a logical conclusion to draw after reading his posts.
So now that those 3 words cant really be used as valid insult words, the "idiot" part remained which I already explained why I used that word. Look further up. Not an insult, according to yourself
