But anyway, apologies, Memnoch, and anyone else if I offended. Including Rahnid.
Er - shall I delete the post?

Your first sentence was a flame, albeit a small one.

A flame is a disparaging/insulting remark about someone at a personal level. This does not have to include cuss words by any means - it's the tone of the post.

The rest of your post is commenting about his post, so that's ok.

And no, you don't have to delete it, just as I didn't ask Rahnid to delete his. I thought I'd call it to your attention as I don't want a flame war to develop.

But there's no worries of that. I'm here.
