Well, the first one is an ad hominem - I don't know what happend in that thread before, but while Deyons post wasn't very "nice", butting into the conversation to basically say "he is a troll" certainly was unneccessary, although I can't claim never to have done similar things. I guess I got away with it with "better" wording, but in hindsight those posts weren't up to my own standards. The second one looks very clear to me, as I can only really read that as an insult directed at the person and not at the argument. |
The first one I wasn't even talking to Deyon. I was just telling the person to ignore him because he was (earlier in the thread) intentionally making comments to rile people up. I wasn't calling him a troll, but saying his comments were troll comments (in the instances in the thread).
The second one was directed at his attitude. There are differences in all of these things, though either way saying if someone is acting like an idiot or saying they are an idiot they would take offense either way so I can see the reasoning behind the warning.
There's a difference, though. I wasn't doing what you were saying I was doing.












... Apparently I've never crossed the line though, or it went unnoticed at least.
