Well let's see who told me to grow up,  you were encouraging people to
not visit my site, you accused me of being egotistical, ranting, being
rude, being insulting, am I missing anything Mark?  As for what I said
to Jude, it's bullshit.  Even if I had meant it there's nothing on the
site!  I mean that would be like someone saying they were going to
make a web page and me saying, "Oh I bet it sucks."  Not to mention
the fact that you can't even tell whether or not I'm being
sarcastically funny.  Remember Mark, we lose up to 90% of what were
trying to convey with this form of communication.  Not only that Mark,
but why didn't you stop?  I mean okay so I flamed Jude, as you could
plainly see I got flamed back by about 6 other people before you
jumped in.  And the you didn't stop, did ya Mark?  No, you just had to
keep beating it to death, just like everyone else.  You couldn't just
let it go without making sure you hurt me ten time worse than what I
said about Jude's potential website, could you?

<snip>

No Mark, you've done far worse than that, even if you don't believe
you have, it doesn't make it any less true.  What's ironic is that I
seem to be one of the only people here who has been acting in a civil
manner.  I mean I stooped the childish insults hours and hours before
any of you finally started to slow down with your verbal bashings.

Jeez, I know that by now he's been banned, but:

I fully admit to telling him he should grow up and not be so rude, but he
makes it sound like I ran over his dog or something.

I tried very hard today to attack the -behavior- and not the -person-

Did I fail in this?

(...) IMHO, no, you didn't fail; you've been quite measured and careful throughout. For our protagonist to claim the high ground of "civility" at this late juncture is analogous to expecting an apology to atone for, say, running over some- one's dog (...)
