I’ve just been informed by a regular poster in here that if I respond to his posts directly, he will report me to the site admins.

He made this threat after I politely and substantively exposed a boneheaded post of his for the vapid nonsense it was.

Is it against the TOS to respond *with substance and not insults* to someone’s posts?

I wouldn’t worry about it, if I were you. If you respond w substance and not insults to any post, I am sure the mods will judge the merits of any complaint fairly.

Second-to-last post page 3 and first post page 4 in the “Is this God’s eternal plan?” thread.

A regular poster in here who shall remain nameless (πŸ‘» ) made the same mistake Bigdogg made four years ago, and, when I pointed out his error, got his knickers in a twist.

I saw that post before I posted here.

I was trying to be humorous about an unfortunate circumstance.

Seems this forum is full of them. 😬

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

Nothing to worry about I guess! 😜

When a poster has been banned under a previous account for malicious trolling and under their current account has just returned from a 2 week ban for trolling, they need to be particularly mindful not to troll people who have no interest in communicating with them.

I’m currently collecting donations for a fund to pay Russ to get the prick banned for good.

Credit to Suzianne for the idea.

Exposing one of your boneheaded posts for the vapid nonsense it is in a polite and non-insulting manner isn’t “trolling” you or “communicating” with you. It’s educating you.

Responding to someone’s posts isn’t a violation of the TOS.

So calling someone a “prick” is allowable under the TOS, but calling someone a “toxic, drunken mess” is not permitted.

The TOS should include a list of insults that are permitted and that are not permitted.

Or does it all depend on who does the name calling?

I agree, if someone is going to get ugly over a simple and respectful response to their post, I doubt the admin. folks here will judge you too harshly. It might be a good idea not to respond to this guy for awhile until he cools down a bit.
