Yawn. I made a civil comment to another Freeper and the freaks swarmed.
Your original comment made to your wingman was civil but intended to provoke. It worked, you got what you wanted, a chance to be uncivil. (See yr comment above.)

"Some of this is starting to creep into our forum again, hence the reminder.
Debate the issues all you want, but please don't make it personal. Keep it clean, above board and above belt.
Also, whether pro or con, keep the q stuff off our regular forum threads. Post it on the q thread in chat/conspiracy. But again, keep it clean, don't make it personal, no name calling, no attacks, no threats, no violence.
Don't be a TROLL. Stay on topic, don't flame, don't engage in flamewars, feuds, cross-thread arguments, stalking or harassment.
If you don't like the subject or topic of the thread to the point you become abusive or trollish, stay off it.
The rules also apply to FReepmail. Do not send profane, insulting, threatening, harassing or otherwise unwanted or abusive messages.
If someone says stop, stop.
Do not harass or pester the mods."
Thanks
