Looks like you missed the previous line:

MM wrote:

I will put a quote at the bottom of the post, that has nothing to do with the discussion just so you can focus on it so you can have something to have a go at.

In other words, the one line you've quoted out of context was put there to wind you up.

And it obviously worked, since you're now calling for a member to be kicked off the site for a single line in a single post. Something which you have always objected to when the abuse was not aimed in your direction.

Even if it was with that purpose, it doesn't make it less offensive.

Seems so, yes.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

No, that was pretty clear. But I suppose you're right Richard. I'll go post something in the soapbox about you, your mom, a pineapple, and a donkey. However, I'll make sure to post what MM did as a caveat first so that it will be OK. D'Oh! | :doh:

Ya, my whole week will be ruined knowing that some guy named Michael Martin tried to insult me. I'm torn up. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

You've proven that rules don't apply to high rep members.

Wrong. You're specifically referring to times when someone replies in QA with "if you aren't going to help me then just don't respond." Ya, that's equal in abuse to what MM did. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

In which case, I'd take your previous advice, report the message, and move on. You'd have to do better than that for me to report your account here. Laugh | :laugh:

You mean the high-rep member who currently holds the record for being kicked off the most times in one day? The member whose previous profanity created the whole "elephant" and "sunshine" meme in the Lounge?

I agree with your point that high rep members(Better to say most influential?) can do anything they want. Look at this thread[^], user got removed just because it was reported by Pete,most influential member(Why? Because i've been told so in past at some point). If i would have done the same thing, i might have received this message : http://www.codeproject.com/suggestions.aspx?msg=5155156#xx5155156xx[^]

All i wanted to convey here is, it becomes abusive when it comes to 'you'. I also agree with one of your point at the same time.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning

I have to agree with you that I do tend to get a pass in cases of abuse reporting. Then again, I'm not as quick with the trigger finger as most. In that particular case, the poster had made several racially offensive comments - I linked to one in the message and then went and tidied up once the user was gone. I'm not sure that I was being abusive by doing this though - you do seem to be mixing your arguments together.

No. You got me wrong. I've mentioned that on so many ocassions that i'm more concerned about the double standards of community.

I never mentioned that. You were absolutely right. User should be kicked right away.

For article I think it is clear, I will choose "Plagarized".
For the member in such a case:
Should I even report it?
If yes, "Spammer" or "abuser"? In my opinion, "Abuse" does match ...
Only a Q from a noob.

Plagiarism is a "zero-tolerance" offence: the article gets kicked as "plagiarism", the "author" gets kicked as "abuse / troll".

And the rule is: he doesn't get his account back! Laugh | :laugh:

Is a bit dodgy: all the images are still linked to Blogspot and it doesn't "read right" for some reason, leaving me smelling plagiarism. Anyone with better Google-fu spot a source, because I can't?

I couldn't find any 'original' (even the image hosting seems fishy), bet even so - it is an 'article' of very low level...IMHO...

Google image search brings up this version on Technet[^], which seems to be by the same author.
