    All that needed was a good bro-down to resolve it; no ban necessary.

    Lmao it’s true.

    Hey I respect anyone that can flesh out an issue when an apology is issued.

    I have no respect for someone that personally attacks me with insults and then ignores me when I message them to hash t out.

    BS behaviour.

    I'd prefer if people stopped using that construction.

    That's just me. Carry on.

    FTR, Zipmeister, "You're smarter than that!" is not the phrase over which you want to take umbrage. Penumbrage, at most.

    The truly offensive phrase is "I thought you were smarter than that!" With the clear implied continuation of "but I was mistaken!"

    There are a few posteurs** on this board who I would never admonish with a phrase like "You're smarter than that" unless the antecedent of "that" happened to be some DNA/CHON-based live form on the intellectual level of pond scum. And even then doubts might well remain.

    ** An inspired portmanteau, or perhaps mondegreen, of "poster" and "poseur."

    Well, golly. I was under the impression that the peanut gallery here held at least your posterior in high intellectual esteem.

    Otherwise, why would I have heard, in the vicinity of your nym, so many muttering variations on the theme of "smart-ass"...?
