Do let me decide what I think and what I don't, before going on to decide for me if I am at the right forum or not.
I was not defending his post, merely drawing ironic attention to your hyper-sensitivity. If his post was low quality, did anyone force you to respond? In such circumstances, personally, sometimes I respond, sometimes I treat a poster and his post with the contempt they deserve, by ignoring them and moving on. When I respond, I do so knowing very well that a brawl might ensue, especially if the other chap is a thick-skinned beast, and does not know that he is in the wrong. Or does not care. And if I get into a brawl, I don't complain about being insulted; I go into it knowing that the chances I will be insulted are high, and I go in braced for it.
These are my principles, which cannot be forced on to anyone else, but I can certainly say to others that there might be a better way of handling provocations other than by drawing ourselves up to our full heights and and putting on the expression that John Master's camels put on, once the rifleman had had his way with them.
The post you are referring to was not high quality. Neither is this deliberately mischievous thread. Those who participate to support it have already nailed their colours to the mast. What remains for them to complain about?
