If words piss us off,
we either walk away or stand up and send words back.

Those are two choices. There are others.

We don't run and yell for Mommy

Sometimes, if the words are defamatory, we run to the courts. Sometimes, if the words are sufficiently incendiary, they may incite actual violence. Sometimes the words lead to dismissal for sexual harrassment. There are limits to free speech. Whether the actual post crossed that line I don't know, since I skimmed it over as soon as I saw its general tone, but obviously somebody thought it had crossed that line.

I wonder who the piggie that squealed was. Any guesses?

Nope. Other than that it wasn't me.

unless a major TOU violation (violation of
privacy, such as the posting of personal information about a member, is the only one I can think of offhand that would
qualify) is involved.

You need to think harder.
