You mean, he was offending whole groups of users at once, rather than |

That's pretty much how the forums work. You're fine saying absolutely |
| 17 |
anything you want about people by category (unless that category is |
| 18 |
the forum mods or a category including their friends), so long as you |
| 19 |
doesn't name any individual (unless it's a member of the mips team -- |
| 20 |
it's perfectly ok to say anything you want about any of those). |
