WGTicon:
I think everyone here knows that if you said the same, you'd got a timeout as well. you have said worse things in past, but you know exactly how to word something with an impact, yet follow rules. that allows me to smack you around a bit, but also to respect your point and address it, as needed.
that thread turned ugly very quickly and few folks acted with feelings, not brains. it doesn't deserve a ban, but a timeout is justified. everyone needs time to cool off, as to forget the genitalia closeups, which, trust me, i see alot more of, on these forums, thanks to your fellow players...... eeeeeeeeeeeeek

Again, as I did not see the post, it is hard for me to comment (I have got the gist of what may have been posted, so I assume the word "hard" may be frowned upon lol) but I would like to think there is a warning system in place.
I have always been relatively careful in what I post and did spend a couple of years as a Moderator on an aviation website. I know at times I have gone too far and have had posts deleted, but surely in Damian's case, this would have been sufficient and with a stern warning.
I am not sure if players reported the posts, which to me seem to be when timeouts are handed out......as I know you do have a sense of humor....even at work!
Personally the baiting is a bigger issue....and has even occurred in this thread....that is where threads turn nasty and sadly it often results in the wrong player getting a timeout IMO....
And Kudos to you Icon for replying.....and to Andy...wow you edited a post.....see we never stop learning lol
