does choose express obligation?

I am not a moderator but in an objective position, when someone is being argumentative repeatedly, I think a less-than- gentle comment is needed. So I think that particular comment is aceptable in my opinion.

I thought so to, but my quite mild, but less than gentle, comment to Incho was deleted and I got "yellow-carded". Is favouritism at work here?

They created this forum and made it possible to compare notes of the English language, at the end of the day.

I greatly appreciate it.

This is a virtual society and they are the police without any of the word's negative connotations.

I do not see anything wrong with it, as long as they refrain from saying:' hey you too'. This  is most offensive to me.

This is what is wrong with our world today. Everybody is afraid of offending anyone. We can’t use certain words because they may “hurt” the feelings of others. In my opinion, that’s bull crap. Just like when a child is misbehaving and sometimes a little spanking is needed to remind your kid there is consequences in bad behaviors. Likewise, a couple of harsh words are needed sometimes in forum such as this to let the renegades know “ hey, you are over the line”. That’s just one man’s opinion.
