Local Dirt: I have a similar policy when confronting liars (i.e. "buttfubarski"!) and idiots (i.e. "small twig"!) but it should not take on the form of a never ending ongoing insult crusade.
Tell someone who offends you why they offend you and defend your position/contention ONCE - and let that stand.
Calling names ad infinitum only diminishes yourself and this site.
It's what I try to do, and that seems to work well enough for me, over the last 17 years or so anyway!
Yeah, you ARE "demeaning" yourself by these extra long, extended, insult fests.
State your case and move on (ignore) from said trolls.
I am still shocked by the loss of this great athlete and the youngsters, in this human error type incident/accident.
Sad.
Hold into the wind
