    Cool it on calling them an ass, please. Just because they may have been snarky doesn’t mean that you should escalate it.

          I hardly think my response was anywhere near escalation. I responded in good faith and was immediately insulted for it.

          Considering I felt insulted, why are you the arbiter of what is and isn’t an insult? The M next to your name?

            Yes, the M next to my name does make me the arbiter of what is and is it an insult when it comes to dealing with the rules. You were also not insulted. You were questioned. There is a significant difference.

            The other user had responded to you in such a way that could be construed as rude. You actively insulted them and called them something specific. That is what we call an escalation.

            I’m not continuing this. You’ve been informed of the situation and up to you on how you want to deal with it.
