Please do not...offend... other users

[The Don]

Just been edited with this by @Zuth; "Please stay on topic & don't offend other users!" Surely what someone takes offence to is subjective? Me posting a picture of meat could offend vegetarians (poor example but the point still stands) does that mean the picture should be removed? no, it doesn't, not unless it was directly aimed and insulting towards that user. please change how 'offensive' posts are dealt with. Thanks.

Oh, also @Zuth; there's a difference between directly calling someone something, insinuating and implying.

The edit reads "Please stay on topic & respect other users!", so surely this would imply that you were rude towards someone?

At least wait for a PM instead of getting all fired up?

Well obviously he realised his mistake and edited it?

It does imply I was being rude, but It's inaccurate. I suggested that if someone couldn't interpret and obvious joke they either lacked socialisation or intelligence, never said they lacked socialisation or intelligence though.

Can you link us to the thread? Chances are your post was pointless/off topic, and at the same time ( multi-tasking) contained offensive material/content.

Maybe the edit was changed, but the old edit means exactly the same thing :S

Surely you would have aimed that comment towards someone making it rude?

My post was just as offensive as yours... Here you're implying (with the patronising face in brackets) that I can't multi-task whilst mine implied that she was an idiot/lacked socialisation.

No, it wasn't aimed at someone, I never said "you're an idiot" I said something along the lines of "if you can't understand that you're an idiot/lack socialisation"

I think your're exaggerating, I never attempted to offend you, and if you find one of the official emotions offensive I'll try and avoid using them when quoting you in future. Can we see the thread, because I still have no idea what you said/posted...

Thats ridiculous, in no way is his post implying that you can't multi-task. lol

You were speaking towards another member, it wasn't a generalised comment which is why its rude.

everything that isn't iluvuletzgetmarriedlol is considered rude on this forum.
