Look...

If you don't like a particular Post/Poster... then just don't answer it/them.
If you don't like another person, keep it to yourself, don't deliberately wind them up...
If you can't be polite TO EVERYONE, then just don't post.
If you got a grudge against someone, take it out elsewhere... we don't want to know here.

This isn't THIS forums rules, these are rules of behaviour in wider society.

People (newbies and some not so new too) are afraid to post for fear of being publicly riddiculed - this just isn't acceptable. It shouldn't matter how simple or stuipid your problem is, you should feel comfortable that at least you can post your question. If nobody wants to answer you, well that's another story.

We got people (human or otherwise) of all cultures, all walks of life, all religions, all political persuasions, all kinds of skill levels here. Outside in the big wide world, you can be the worst of enemies, but here, (friendly banter or occasional well placed kick up the arse aside), let's give EVERYONE the RESPECT and DECORUM with which you yourself would like to be treated.
