Does such a thing as 'evil' exist?

If so, what is it? Where can it be found?

And in the past the same comments that got a mod edit would have earned you a forced forum vacation.. take it or leave it, I can always put that line in the sand back where it was.

I could understand how you could consider flaming the fact of opening a thread to ask users what they think of other users. I still don t understand what is wrong with the comment i made, obviously in jest and that doesn t break any site rule. I was making fun of his bigoted comments, and those are the ones not allowed in here. I just ask for guidelines to understand what is "acceptable" to write in here and what is not as you just confused me.

1. Making a thread whose sole purpose is to discuss another member's characteristics in a negative light cannot be seen as anything but flaming. Its truth or falsehood is irrelevant. I won't belabor the point, since you seem to understand it already.
2.
- When someone starts flaming, responding to it in jest can be seen as adding fuel to the fire. Even if the jest is relatively innocuous, it can add momentum to the cycle of flame/counterflame. If a mod is going to take any action at all, he has to take action against both sides of the cycle, or he will be seen as grossly biased. TeeGee is a remarkably fair man, and it was obvious that once he started deleting tabasco's flames he also had to delete the counterflames.
- Your comments, in and of themselves, did not break any site rules. You have to consider what you are participating in, in toto. The flame/counterflame cycle you were participating in needed to be extinguished, so not only did the original fire have to be put out, but the extra wood you were piling up.
- Remember, having your flamed mod-edited out and/or the thread locked is not a punishment. This is one of the biggest misconceptions on the site. The point of deleting an offending post or locking a thread is to defuse a potential bomb before punishments become necessary. It is a friend taking the car keys out of your hand, rather than a cop arresting you for drunk driving. Sometimes people who's thread get locked or comments get deleted don't fully realize that a friend is doing them a favour and keeping them from digging a hole.

It all depends on who one asks.
