Now sir, I would like you to go back and think very carefully about what you just did. Rory insulted me directly without any provocation on a thread about _why. He called me an idiot and juvenile, both statements that are unfounded and untrue. Even though he wrapped it in very intellectual sounding prose he still insulted me.

Now, nobody flagged him for the troll he is. In fact, nobody ever said "hey it's not within our posting guidelines to call someone an idiot".

However, when I reply and insulted him back not only do people like you defend him, but you say I'm being a troll and that I need to grow up. Even though it's (hopefully) clear that I may just be trolling him for a reason.

It's not right for you to apply a standard to me that you don't also apply to Rory. If I'm not allowed to be immature, juvenile, and insulting than neither is he. In fact, he's more in the wrong here because he did it without provocation for no other reason than to troll and win favor with people who have your opinion.

Next time, if there's a standard you have, such as "people should be mature and not insult others" then you should apply it to both parties in an argument. If everyone did this then trolling like this might end fairly quickly. In fact, don't even reply, just flag both posts and move on.

If you folks are going to meet by the bike racks at 3:15, can you at least let me know? I'll even skip the Simpsons as so that I can watch.
