Adrian, you little dipshit, ...
To the moderator of this forum: doesn't this language constitute grounds
for banning this person from these lists?
You seriously are proposing banning somebody (me in this instance) for
calling somebody a dipshit? (Especially after the dipshit in question
posted a private message to a public forum to try to embarrass that
person?) And to make matters worse, the little dipshit told at least a
couple of transparent lies afterwards to try to justify himself, like
the bit about how I wrote some incredible rant to him in private that
was so shocking, he'd never seen anything like this in 8 years...
there's no generous interpretation of that, he was just lying....
So... schematically: a guy breaches nettiquette by posting a private
message in public and subsequently tells lies about the incident, and
you're going to ban not that individual, but the person at the receiving
end who tells him off.
Anyway, nobody would believe that your grounds for banning me (calling
the dipshit a dipshit) were the real grounds. They'd see me pointing out
quite truthfully the state of this project and know perfectly well that
that was the reason for the banning.
