    C'mon.
    No, but if you bring another member's family into a debate in an attempt to gain some kind of advantage, that clearly qualifies as "bad faith" according to any reasonable standard. Of course, your acquaintance with reason is tenuous at best, so I don't expect you to understand.

    Yes, we know.

    You don't want there to be rules against insulting other posters, but you are okay with rules against insulting another poster's family.

    You want the forum to be a free-for-all EXCEPT on issues where you get sensitive.

    I noticed you aren't posting the post in the other thread that prompted your OP. Why?

    Good grief.

    A poster's family members are not actively engaging in the discussion. They are not present to speak in their own defense. Maybe you think it is okay to insult someone who cannot offer a rebuttal, but I do not.

    You are really quite pathetic. What I was finding humorous about you earlier just seems kind of sad now.

    Yes, I get it.

    You want to pick and choose which insults are acceptable and which ones are not.

    You are not making yourself look good here. I would remind you of the "First Rule of Holes".

    I meant what I said about feeling sorry for you. I can't imagine what it must be like to be so insecure as to resort to the kind of nonsense you have displayed here tonight.
