nzlockie: Don't make comments like this. They can only be perceived as hostile.

Blackflag: I actually was being very deliberate when wording that comment.
It was an observation, although my intent WAS to infer that often times Stalin can be a little childish with his comments.

It was not harsh, or overly critical, I'd consider it to be a gentle rebuke. Something I think is appropriate in this case.

nzlockie: No, it really isn't appropriate.
If Stalin is childish, it isn't your business.
If it becomes your business, PM him and resolve it there.

You likened Stalin to your 10 year old autistic niece. How is that an appropriate thing to say to someone.
Did you realize this is a troll thread?

Blackflag: We disagree here I'm afraid.
I think one thing we CAN agree on is that if I were wanting to insult or be rude, I certainly could have done so in a much stronger manner. The fact that I didn't, coupled with the fact that it's not been my history to be rude or insulting on this site, should speak volumes and place my comment in context.

Calling someone out when they are repeatedly acting childish is not rude, it's appropriate. Admin has done it, Doc has done it, you've done it yourself - many times. RM is the latest example I can think of. You're even doing it right now, calling me out. It's what a community does. It's how we let eachother know what is appropriate and what's not.

I'm sure you know people with Autism - we all do. It can hardly be considered an insult, it's a very common medical condition that causes people to behave in a socially awkward way.
If I'm being unfair in assuming the level of your familiarity with Autistic 10 yr olds, then I'm sorry. Believe me when I say that Stalin is acting exactly like the ones I know.

If you thought that using Autism as some sort of measuring stick, (which I wasn't, I was using my niece*) is somehow politically incorrect, then again I'm sorry. It's not.
Assuming that I consider Autism a derogatory term is an insult.


* In the interests of clarity, here's what I happened. First I wrote, "... my socially awkward 10 yr old niece...". Then I reread it and decided that that came across badly for my niece, who I actually think is pretty cool. So to let you know that there was an actual medical condition that explains her social awkwardness, I changed it to "...autistic niece...".
Then I reread THAT and decided that given the extremes of the autistic spectrum, this might be being a little unfair to Stalin. So I changed it a final time to read, "... mildly autistic..."
Again, Autism is a very common and well publicised condition these days. I"ll concede that I may have been guilty of incorrectly assuming people's acceptance and familiarity with it.

nzlockie: Justifying rudeness is not in fashion
I'm not going to argue that what you did was wrong
Just take it to personal message next time.

nzlockie: I tend to agree with this. I feel like I could write a program that says significantly more interesting things than some of the comments on this site.

I didn't really take Nzlockie's comments seriously, I'm just writing these things to annoy people. If my comments sound childish then I don't especially care since like Priest said, this is a troll thread.
