Then you show up on your high horse as a moderator wannabe telling me how I am a coward because anyone who says something like that doesn't have the balls to do it in real life.
Now you give me unsolicited advice about why I shouldn't do it in the real world.
Do me a favor and go play in the traffic.
(I like that phrase)
Oh, yeah, that's really mature. Would you really say that to MY face? If so, you would probably be the first one ever, at least the first one I heard.
He made a sexual comment about my wife.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but he doesn't even know your wife. Are you truly bothered by stupid comments that are totally ignorant? If so, why?
I made one short comment that said if he told me in person, he would be looking for a dentist.
Sorry, but I don't buy that for a second. First of all, he wouldn't have said it in person, so your stance here isn't the least bit relevent. Second, talk is cheap and physical threats made verbally are almost never carried out. Physical action carried out almost never comes with a warning. But to the extent that you would at least try to punch his teeth out, as I pointed out earlier, that would be one very stupid move on your part. And for what?
A short harmless retort to a moron.
I could say "from one as well," but I don't like to get personal.

Don't change the subject. This makes you look even more foolish than you are behaving now. I didn't come in on a high horse, and to an extent we are all responsible for keeping FR a professional place (which is hard with you behaving as you are). I was simply trying to appeal to your sanity. Apparantly, that was a waste of time.
telling me how I am a coward because anyone who says something like that doesn't have the balls to do it in real life.
That isn't what I said either. I said idle threats on an anonymous forum are stupid since they can't be carried out, and since people that would carry out violence (that can actually do some damage) don't talk about what they were going to do. It was simply an observation, but the most important point is that the comment was stupid. What did you hope to accomplish? Were you really thinking that he would stop saying that since you made the veiled threat? Did you really think your comment would "show him"? Did you really think that a threat (or an opinion) regarding physical violence would put you on any level other than his?
Now you give me unsolicited advice about why I shouldn't do it in the real world.
You need a lot more advice than I can give you. You are in serious need of professional help if you are seriously here trying to defend your actions, or at least, up in arms over what I did. As I said last time, a dumb comment made out of emotion is easily forgivable. We've all done it. But to write 2 additional posts trying to defend your actions is the most bizarre and stupid thing I've seen in almost five years here on FR.
Do me a favor and go play in the traffic.
To the FR community: this poster has got to be pulling my leg. No one can be this hypocritical, overly sensitive, and stupid all in the same post. Oh, well.
