Some points of logic: I have complained of the poster's words before - hence the phrase "as usual" - I am not the only one to have complained of this poster's posts. Whether or not you have complained about someone's posts before bears no logical relation whether his posts are usually - or ever - insulting. It might just be that you like to complain. My complaint is about the content of the post and not about the poster it cannot therefore be an ad hominem attack. You made a disparaging comment about his posts in general, one which obviously reflects poorly on himself, not about the contents of a specific post. So I can't see any grounds for claiming his post is any more ad hominem than yours. In fact, there is a prima facie case that your post was based on a delusion, i.e. that people shouldn't comment on your post unless you specifically "ask anyone a question". As Ken has pointed out, that's not the way a message board works, and therefore your complaint appears to be based on a false belief, or delusion: delusion noun de·lu·sion | \ di-ˈlü-zhən , dē-\ Definition of delusion 1a : something that is falsely or delusively believed or propagated And while we're on the subject of false beliefs, in stating that "Every judicial system outside of fascist regimes and organisations have appeal processes where arguments can be re-assessed. This needs to happen here...", you seem to think that an internet message board is a "judicial system". In fact, they're two different things.
