The aforementioned does not say anything about any other words, just "idiot", there is no reason to believe that other words would be added is there?

You're such an idio..........logical freakazoid 😛

Do you really think that a single word was meant to be an extensive list?

Really?

Like I said, it is the context in which it is used. Just saying the word "idiot" (like in this very post!) when not directed at anyone shouldn't resort to it being removed.

Didn't think I would need to spell it out, but will do so anyway. Here is the whole paragraph in context:

"Discussions in forums can often get heated, but while you may take issue with another poster's viewpoint, you must not resort to personal attacks or abuse. Do not post offensive or inflammatory remarks that stray beyond the bounds of reasoned debate."

Which it then gives an example as below:

"Calling another poster an "idiot" will leave a post subject to immediate removal."

It does not say it is just an example, you are saying it is an example.

CFT said he doesn't mind being called a moron, how do you know moron would be among those words, or Retard, or Retardo, etc., etc., you do not, same as I do not. It is yet to be seen what words would be added, therefore up for discussion, no?

Actually we both could!

You are not without sin.

You point fingers, without looking at your self, you are not better, for doing so. I have never heard anyone speak about you as one to look at for how one should conduct themselves in the forums.

It is clear by implication that it is an example, but I explicitly said so to make it clearer to you. I get the impression you know full well this, but you are being deliberately cantankerous. Considering this, it is far too trivial to discuss!

Better said would have been....Words such as "Idiot" etc., there you go now you know it isn't going to just be "idiot"

You took the time out to discuss it so it couldn't have been too trivial, for you to bother with to begin with. 😉

I am cantankerous, because I ask questions? Where have I heard that statement before.
