You mean, he was offending whole groups of users at once, rather than one person in particular, so it was ok. That's pretty much how the forums work. You're fine saying absolutely anything you want about people by category (unless that category is the forum mods or a category including their friends), so long as you doesn't name any individual (unless it's a member of the mips team -- it's perfectly ok to say anything you want about any of those). -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaranm at ciaranm.org Web : http://ciaranm.org/ Paludis, the secure package manager : http://paludis.pioto.org/
