Yes, because you went after the person not the argument.

I agree that it's frustrating but I can't make up rules.  For that matter, there seems to be more touchiness about certain things than others, eg. disparaging sources.  Not sure why.

Often the person is the argument, if you honestly don't understand or are unwilling to deal with that you shouldn't be running or moderating a forum.  Some people simply need to be ignored, and no, that doesn't mean letting them spam a forum with ridiculous nonsense and telling everyone else to play nice.  The real problem is, you, and the others over there, are just not very good at it.  Maybe it's the 'everyone gets a ribbon' society we live in, but some people are legitimately stupid, legitimately hateful, and they deserve to be told and treated as such.  For some reason, you think they need protection, and in protecting people like that you bring the rest of us down, to the point that you prefer to have them post more than the others. Well done.

But apparently you think another 9/11 thermite, etc. conspiracy theory thread is 'interesting' enough to keep around for weeks. So on it goes.
