While Schneed was expressing his opinion within forum rules, I'm sure he knew what he was getting into.

There's no sense being a martyr in poetic justice fashion when simple tact could have avoided this mess. It probably would have been a much more constructive decision.

Yeah, but the comment was intended to cut her down off her high horse. So to an extent, it was meant to be distasteful and without tact, while at the same time at the core being an expression of opinion within the framework of the forum guidelines.

It was off topic as well...

Let me play devils advocate for a second..

okay.. that was fun.

While I understand you were taking someone off their "high horse" in a public forum isn't against any kind of rules or policy. I'm just saying it's not constructive to the site in any way to attack her like you did. Do you really think it's going to change her behavior?

It's just kind of a waste of breath...err... finger energy, to make it an issue.

I'm not saying you didn't have the right too, I'm just saying you should use better judgment when confronting someone. You may have been annoyed by her "shameful flirting", but it takes less energy to ignore her, than it does to attack, defend, and start a thread to open public discussion.
