Also, noob, here's a clue for you. It is very bad form to join a board and on your very first day, start antagonizing long time posters.

It's also the height of rudeness for a poster who's been here as long as you to wave longevity over the head of someone who is making comments you don't agree with.

If FR is for "thinking conservatives," then criticism is part of thinking. Nobody gets better if all we do is pat them on the back.

This person wasn't just making comments with which I disagreed. They were lying about certain facts over and over and I called them on that.

I can handle disagreement in a mannerly fashion.

The other poster obviously could not for they earned a ZOT with their behavior.
