No moderator actions were performed and any poster could have done the same thing.
I expect you to acknowledge that your accusation was false; if you do not I will conclude that you have a problem admitting when you are wrong and that you are also therefore hypocritical (again).
If it is a reference to you, "idiot" is certainly not abusive. :lol:Quote:
If you think I am being abusive then you ought to remember that you and Bill are the official judges of what is and what is not abuse. Bill defined idiot as not being abusive.
a person deficient in mind and permanently incapable of rational conduct
Jokes aside, "idiot" is most certainly abuse but it is permitted on this board in the vast majority of cases, and deserved in no small number of them. As moderator, I am not interested in what is abuse and what is not so your comment above is ineffectual rubbish as usual.
My point is that you were being abusive, in this case while I was merely criticising your opinions (albeit dismissively) and that this undermines and exposes as hypocritical your attempts to criticise others for being abusive.
