Acceptability of Creating Demeaning Reply to OP

Hey, folks, I gotta ask if it is acceptable on this forum to engage an OP by writing some long winded Reply to an OP with what might be deemed an intent to agitate or maybe even demoralize the OP? Is it acceptable to engage in this type sport at TFL? What fun! If not, what do ya'll do about it.

Of course that is not acceptable. Please review the forum rules, especially #3, and also perhaps #2. After being a member here for almost seven years, you should know that's not how we roll.

If it's a post we disagree with, we respectfully disagree by refuting the other person's argument with facts. If it's a post that violates the forum rules ... feel free to hit the 'Report Bad Post" icon, and let the staff handle it.

You obviously know the rules and have the experience to know how they are administered.

If you know of a post that you believe is problematic, please report it for review and appropriate action using report post function.

If you have some other concern, please state it plainly so it can be addressed.

The way I read the OP,,,
I thought he was asking for permission to "dis" a poster.

I hope not.

Posting with the intent to demean, agitate or demoralize another member is not at all in the spirit of the TFL rules.
