Max, I hope you are joking but in any case, I think any type of demeaning name calling, however mild or explicit or joking in any type of situation or forum would be unacceptable and is bound to get you banned from any forums regardless of the topic presented. I think Bryster said it best. "Keep it civil or I'll lock this thread". Are you willing to press your luck?

Actually I was joking... I just happened to be in a lighthearted mood that day.  It does annoy me, however, when people launch personal attacks instead of sticking to the issue.  But I also realize that people have emotions and some things get people angry, and to suppress anger and frustration may not be as beneficial as some think.
