That's a new one. I hadn't noticed that, but you are right. There is an insult etiquette. <a breach of insult etiquette, since he didn't allow for subtle escalation, >

Also, I'm with you on the "How come they didn't understand what I very clearly said?"

Back on the insults, just today I decided against some escalation and actually deleted some as the insults I was replying to weren't inspirational, but simply garden-variety "POS" style. My insult in reply lacked the quality aspect you mentioned. The few times I have decided to try out personal insults, they lack conviction. Without conviction, the quality tends to be missing too.

I did make a puny pig-related one for Sarman yesterday, thought better of it, but decided to leave it for lack of inspiration.

When insults get to a good level, it's time to go for 3D therapy.
