Such as incorrectly pointing out that I made ONE comment, which I guess to you clearly means "pages of name calling". You're right, it's really not a hard concept to understand that one post is not pages of name calling. No lives were lost by calling skyhook ****hook.
Fail on you, dude. "Regularly descending into pages of name-calling" is a statement that doesn't specifically mention one instance (such as you calling Skyhook "****hook", but more of a general thing for all the times something completely blows up due to one thing or another. Just some examples off the top of my head:
1. Last year's Pens thread where Rock regularly lost his shit because he was SO easy to bait, until no one could even talk hockey because all it took were certain people getting on the thread (regardless of whether trolling was actually going on) because he'd flip out the second he saw certain names.
2. ANY Notre Dame thread. Hopefully no explanation necessary on that one.
3. The various high school FB threads concerning public vs private that wound up in the basement because they turned into about a half-dozen or so people constantly attacking each other after 100 pages or so of realizing they weren't changing each others' minds.
I'd guess you'd call this a preemptive strike that hopefully ensures this doesn't turn into those. Because those make life miserable.
