How hard is it to act decent? Even with someone you don't agree with.

You mean like calling someone a dick?

When someone acts like a dick they are acting assholish. You could probably interchange the two. It's an expression of a self centered person whose only concern is himself. For instance in the Jar Jar thread where I accused a person of being a Dick that was exactly my intent. If one didn't like the thread why ruin it for others who were enjoying the thread. I guess I could have put the definition down for other parts of the country. In NW Ohio when someone is being a self centered person who wants to call others "stupid" because they feel they are the arbiter of what is stupid or what is not. A group of people who like the conversation will tell the arbiter when he is out of line by calling him a Dick. It's a common expression. Like when a guy tries to welch on a bet. Hey, don't be a dick, pay up. When a guy doesn't throw in for the tip with a group bill. Hey, don't be a Dick, pay two bucks. Doesn't make the person a bad person. He just needs a life check. Hey even though you might not enjoy the Jar Jar theory, don't be a Dick, maybe others do. Feel free to call me out if I ever am a Dick to someone. If I ever call one stupid for starting a thread that I don't find interest in. Heck, I'm usually asked for my opinion on things because I DON'T Comment on things I find stupid. I don't find the term offensive, personally. I've used it all of my life. ESPECIALLY amongst friends.

it's impossible to tell, though. and it's a pretty dire threat to be so completely undefined in terms of whatever the offense was. all we know is that they're pissed because they had to read stuff.

any political forum is going to have some elbow-throwing; it's the nature of the beast. I suspect they're going to break the forum again.

You're assuming these offenses have not been warned already. I know I have received warnings for posts...as well as warning level percentage hits. Most likely, these warnings and small warning level percent hits (normally around 5%) aren't working so they're pushing it up to 50%.
