I'm sad to see an increase in personal sniping recently on MB. Mods seem pretty slack about handing out warnings these days, so I think we might all benefit if we were to remember the rules when we post:-

What I notice is that it states clearly that we shouldn't be rude, insulting or make personal attacks.

Even though there is a general concensus irl that it is preferable to be open-minded, or un-biased or non-racist, none of those are MB requirements. What I'm saying is that even if you are reading the posts of someone you consider to be a bland, bigotted, close-minded racist who fails to get every joke and has lousy taste in music, that's still not a justification for breaking the rule about rude, insulting personal attacks.

My advice is to be tolerant; if you don't like a guy's politics or approach to music, don't fire off a personal insult. Instead, take a break, go to another thread and leave him be.

If I can't be rude then **** this site.

I've actually noticed a dramatic decline in personal insults.

Urban built this place on rudeness and snarky remarks. If we stop that, we'd be doing a disservice to Urban, and I will not be a part of that.

Yes, we must not tarnish Urban's legacy of snark and creeping on underage girls

Chula has that covered.

This is why I don't hit on you except ironically.

And now I'm the ******* for being ignorant on what she actually meant. Woops.

Sorry WWWP.

I think you got what she meant, maybe you're just not getting what I meant?
