You have a good point there, and you even shined new contradictions into light.

On the thread Go2Rutledge posted on Thundermaker300's wall, Thundermaker300 said the following...

"I wouldn't consider "shut up" the most offensive thing to say. If someone f-bombs someone else, then you can tell me or a different admin."

If saying "Shut up" and "You idiot" were to pass by this rule, then the rule Be Nice and treat people with Respect should be rephrased in order to not contradict with the decision Thundermaker300 has made. I know a lot of people at my old schools that said shut up to other kids a lot. No feelings actually got hurt, no one told on anyone else.

"You Idiot" is on a different level. That is when something needs to be done. I think that calling someone an idiot is the way to start a war, which is why I closed the thread. I would have given the user responsible for this a warning, but he has been acting in good faith other than this incident. I am now changing my mind to not giving him a block as this is obviously causing a problem. Cheers for the response. What is your ruling however on the other offences in the thread such as the Cancer comment? Cancer is a real disease. It kills most of the people around the globe. I think it should not be used to make fun of. People do have it, and it is serious. To me, this is like laughing at a kid with a disorder. It's not funny. The cancer comment was outright offensive, and should be blocked. I was offline at the time of the cancer comment, so I never noticed it posted. Thoughts about giving Iamtheking112 a block? I believe that should not be up to vote, and rather left to the hands of an Administrator. However, given that this does violate Wiki Policies, I am pointing towards an Aye. I have left a message and given him a block.

What precautions should be taken to prevent a future occurence of the flamewar?
