Vaderisnothayden has me on his ignore list. And because of one post where I made fun of one of his rants (I just quoted his post and replaced all the text with "BAWWWWW!")

You're misrepresenting what happened. You replaced my post text with a cartoon pic of a childlike rabbit wiping away tears while going "Bawww!" The implication being that that was what my posts amounted to and, more particularly, that that was what I amounted to, which was unprovoked personal insult. And it was such petty childish shit, which really didn't impress me. And you were joining in when I was already being ganged up on. I had done nothing to you and here you were joyfully engaging in kicking me while I was down. I saw no reason why I needed to pay attention to the posts of somebody who acted like that. I mean really, why should I bother with somebody who pulls that shit? So I put you on ignore and didn't bother responding to any of the three people (yourself included) who were giving me shit on the thread, with the end result that I was able to get the thread back on topic and it moved past the personal trouble.

But my whole point is VINH is that Nanner does that to EVERYONE!! He's posted various pictures in response to my rants. If he hadn't done that to you, at some point, then you'd certainly be the exception. I think you read way too much into the smallest things and take then too personal.

Well, there's posting pictures and there's posting pictures. This one was especially mocking. Also, when you come along when people are ganging up on someone and post pictures mocking them, it's reasonable to interpret it as hostile. And some of Nanner's behavior since then has supported that interpretation. And taking pot shots at someone who's being ganged up on is an especially low thing, no matter how much one may post pictures to mock other people. And I don't think it's taking things too personally to take personally something that amounts to a personal comment. I don't see how I'm reading anything into what Nanner did that isn't implied by what he did. If he doesn't want his actions to be interpreted as hostile he should avoid mocking people who are being kicked and ganged up on. And I really don't see how unprovoked personal mockery counts as such a small thing. As far as I'm concerned, personal comments against a poster who hasn't attacked you at some point are totally unacceptable and crossing a crucial line.
