I’ve never heard of calling someone a newt as an insult lol I think we’re all overreacting. Frink didn’t seem bothered by it anyway.

You’re all just a bunch of salamanders anyway.

Although it may appear an ‘overreaction’ mate, sometimes it helps to be a little pro-active in trying to nip these things in the bud - and also just to give posters a gentle nudge or reminder… that ‘name calling’ will not be tolerated on this site (as has been stated in a few others posts of late as a reminder).

Now, as said to LordZerome1080, it’s not a good idea to post something like that without context. Frink could have taken it badly (or to another poster could have) - and then it escalates…

 

(The Mods are busy enough trying to ensure the smooth-running of the site without having to go look up the various definitions of ‘newt’ out there on the internet - local, cultural, insults etc - to ensure that this wasn’t something more - or having to keep an eye on ‘newt’-based posts.)
 

‘Newt-based posts’ - what a way to start the day 😃
