If I say ”Braddock deserves a prize” It doesnt mean Im handing prizes out. If someone deserves a slap - like a kid doing something awful, it doesnt mean Im slapping a kid either. It means they deserve it from something they did, and from something usualy which is not proper behaviour. Its not a threat.
In other hand - did you ever apologize from that guy. In that subject I made wild guess that you did not, and I might be wrong.
Well, thanks for that clarification. Personally, a slap on the hand and a slap on the face denote two different approaches. But that’s just my opinion, the later being an insult/abusive compared to the former being used as a reprimand, especially when you called me a “rude bastard”.
And no, I don’t apologize for closing down a thread. That’s part of moderation on the forums - especially if a thread turns non-constructive, goes off the rails, or if the thread has reached its conclusion. (And I don’t moderate forums anymore because we have a whole team that handles that now, so I focus on larger concerns/items in the community.)
