Thanks. So is rudely telling someone that they "went off on some pointless irrelevant rant" and introducing pointless flamewar material in the response before that.

Instead of playing back at them, I guess I'll just post the rules next time.

- "Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity."

- "Please avoid introducing classic flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say about them."
