It never ceases to amuse me that the people who call other posters out about their "tone" are the same ones who call posters names like bully, attacking, childish, school yard, etc. If you point out that name calling is against YT rules (Section B 1 & 2), they will respond with the mature argument that "well, so and so did it first" (accompanied by the equally requisite head toss and foot stamp). Cracks me up every time. The air must be awfully thin on Mt. High if these so called bastions of 'what is and isn't appropriate to respond' can't see their own hypocrisy. If they can see it, they sure would never admit it.
YT is a community that has done a fantastic job of not only tolerating but encouraging varying opinions and viewpoints on multiple topics. The admin and mods have done a great job of keeping everything within the guidelines they have set. Personally, I think it's pretty disrespectful to the community as a whole for someone to come on here and tell everyone else how they should or shouldn't post. It's kind of like being a visitor in someone's home and disciplining their children because you disapprove of something they did.
Take care of your own posts, people. If you can stand behind your advice and postings, then give it. If you want to see things go a certain way, then be that way rather than talking about it. Talk is cheap. Finger wagging is even cheaper.
