You continue to misunderstand and misconstrue my points. I don't see this going anywhere as, ultimately, you're the mod, not me. I hope he continues to leave useless posts complaining about articles he doesn't personally like, since that's what you seem to appreciate. I'll just note that I did, in fact, call his post ridiculous, but explained why immediately. It wasn't an insult in a vacuum. And when he replied with a similarly absurd follow up, I used sarcasm to get my point across. I was never rude for the sake of being rude. His comment bred any incivility which followed, and that's not "but he did it" -- it's just a fact.
