You must have skipped the post I saw...
He may have been ADDRESSING someone else, but he was insulting Richard.
Perhaps you need to follow the thread again.

Nothing to follow. Jon expressed an opinion, and a rather benign one at
that. Is this grounds for banishment? And even if insulting is grounds for
banishment, I personally have endured countless personal attacks at the
hands of RM; far worse than this! RM’s leash is far and away longer than
anyone else’s on LUGNET, and his latest attack on Jon is IMO the lowest
point to which LUGNET has ever descended. His disdain for everything this
community stands for is contemptible.

I don’t think that Hoppy needs an apologist (especially one named Kooties), for
he’s usually quite able to defend himself...
But I’ve been here, in o.t.-d, thru most major discussions over the years, and
yes, sometimes his passions show thru loud and clear, but ‘who is not guilty of
this may cast the first stone’...
The only issue for me was the ‘colourful language’. I personally don’t
appreciate swearing/profanity/4 letter words/whatever euphemism you choose, for
99 prercent of the time these words are brought into the conversation, they
degrade the level of discourse to the lowest common denominator. It’s very rare
in the course of conversation when I’ve heard these words used and was impressed
by the direction the conversation was going.
And Richard didn’t change that stance with that particular post. That does not
negate all his previous posts in which I was very impressed with Richard, and
his ability to research and articulate his opinion.
Do I agree with the ban? Not my call, and thankfully I’ll bow out from that
decision. The ToU does specify the non-usage of profanity, so he disregarded
that part.
As for the rest? Eh, sticks and stones...(1)
