OT: That being the case I will note Zebras incorrect use of English in the quoted phrase. ( I did not read the actual post as it looked like a pissing contest was in full flight )

<p.s. I am beeing very civil.... don't you think? in spite of your attacks, I refrained myself from using the Vulcan language....>

Refrained is derived from the word he actually meant to use restrained. Refrained is used without the personal pronoun since the definition already includes it.

Refrain: To hold oneself back: forbear

Therefore the sentence should have read.
I restrained myself from ....
or
I refrained from ......
