Q'alooaith, you're treading the line right now, so I'm giving you a friendly reminder that one of the major rules for this forum is BE CIVIL with other members. You don't have to agree with everyone or with anyone at all nor do you have to like what others say, but you DO have to interact in a civil manner and insulting other members is NOT an option.

Cloudy, a freindly reminder could have come in the form of a PM, which would have got a much better reaction (I've rewritten this post twice already).
I'm being as civil as everyone else, I have not insulted any body intentionaly.
The acusation offends me.
I have been civil, I have respected the views of others, I have dissagreed with engery, as is expected in a discusion, I have made my tirade. what would you have me do diffrently, what exactly is wrong with my reply? [/QUOTE]Q'alooaith, you've pointed out you're intelligent, so I'm sure you can tell when you're insulting someone or baiting them.
Last time I looked, the little hammers were still by name, which means I have to enforce the code of conduct the webmaster set up for IW AND part of that code says

Be Nice: No posting of material that antagonizes, harasses or creates hostility toward another user or group of. If you are angry with someone in the forum, take it up with him/her through private channels like e-mail or PM or ICQ in a respectful manner.

so take it to heart- Don't bait or insult other people here. Your post to Luvian was a taunt (baiting) and your 'dregs' comment was flamebait to those members who have had employment/assitance issues and had posted here.
If you have any more questions about my decision to warn you, please follow protocol and pm me or the webmaster.
In short, don't do it. If you can't excercise some self control in a reply, take it private.
For the record, I post this here to be sure EVERYONE knows that such behavior is not acceptable and this thread will continue only if it stays civil.
