Am backing off on this: it is more serious than I feel comfortable getting tangled up in.

I wouldn't say he is a coward, since he keeps coming back.
Just because you don't agree with him is no reason to shut him down.
Has zero to do with agreeing with him or not. He can say whstever he wants, even insult folks. However, someone asked him to refrain from calling him a certain term, and Mule deliberately used that term a few times in response. That is cyberbullying - pushing the edge of legality.
It is extremely cowardly to engage in online verbal abuse that you know would get you in serious trouble in the analog world.
Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Why don't you list all the different names you, and others have called him. Kind of like the one you started this thread with.
What of all the cyber-bullying he's endured from some of the posters.
Think about it for a while and let me know how you would feel being called the things that others have called him.
Seems to me he's just giving back what you feed him. Don't bully him and I'm sure he won't bully you.
Ignore him all you want to, he only will keep responding when others post back.
Try this. Next time he posts, don't refer to him as Muletard.

I guarantee you as the struggling single parent of a deeply mentally disabled child you will not find one use of the t-word in one post since I started here.
This is the Whipping Post, people insult each other, fine. If he took issue with being called a certain name and stated so, and someone continued, I would stand behind him just the same. At that point it becomes abuse.

Sorry, I wasn't pointing you out. I know your feelings on using words to describe people as "retarded". The post was for "general knowledge".

Actually, you don't know my feelings on that. When the debate over that term was raging here, my only response was that I am of the George Carlin school when it comes to words and language, people can say whatever they damn well please, they are only words. Yes, that particular term bugs me, so I don't use it. Personal choice.
My point wasn't the insult, which wasn't even an insult, it was the deliberate disrespect shown by repeating it after being respectfully told not to. Simple.
If I called you something and you shrugged it off, no big deal. Life goes on, insults fly, who gives a sh!t.
However, say you and I are at a bar. Five shots in I say "Jerry you are a complete and total floccinaucinihilipilificator."
You say, "Brer, you can call me anything, but under no circumstsnces are you ever to call me a floccinaucinihilipilificator, for personal reasons that term irks me.'
So, in spite of your request, I say, "Jerry, you sir are most definitely a floccinaucinihilipilificator. Matter of fact if there were a book written on the subject of floccinaucinihilipilification you would be the protagonist. Safe to say when it comes down to the nuts and bolts of the whole spectrum of forms of floccinaucinihilipilificating you are the very living embodiment of floccinaucinihilipilification."
What would I deserve at that point? A broken jaw of course. Not because of the word, but because I deliberately pissed on your shoes by saying it again after you told me not to.
Therefore, it would be cowardly of me to behave this way online where I know you couldn't fix it so I was on a liquid diet through a straw for the next three months.
(btw I crank all this b.s. out on a tiny phone, no small feat)

Im late to this thread. Nothing The Mule has written or opined on rises to the level of getting banned. Nothing.
Same goes for pretty much all the regulars
Had zero to do with getting banned. Just thought something wasn't right and called it out. Looking like I over-reacted.
Gonna plead nevermind on this one.

Ignoring has been attempted many times over the years in varying situations.
In the end, it's only on one's self if they click Post Reply or not.
Wise words. With implications far beyond this little hell we have created for ourselves in this remote gulag in Cyberia we know as the Whipping Post.
Am I the only one who googled "floccinaucinihilipilificator"?

It was worth it!
Lol. Longest word in the English language (barring medical and scientific terms). I have no idea if I was using it properly.
"Floccinaucinihilipilification" : The act of deeming as unworthy.
Killer Scrabble word!

Hey man, you spoke your mind. I respect that. And that's not because i want to engage in floccinucinhilipilification of your post.
I wonder how many people are going to look up that word tonight.

I'm Welsh. You should see some of the place names of where my family is from.
it's "floccinaucinihilipilification", not "floccinucinhilipilification".
We have some Welsh too, but mostly Scottish. You wouldn't have any connects to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
by any chance?
Monty Python ruined our generation.

OK, SO I MISSED AN A,
That they did. Every time someone starts talking about spam and spam filters I see a group of Vikings coming down from the ceiling singing the spam song.
I have thought of going into Denny's one day and ordering spam, spam, spam and eggs-with a side of spam.
OK, SO I MISSED AN A,
That is correct, and an "I" as well. So your fliccinaucinihilipilification of .my fkiccinaucinihilioikification of your spelling of floccinaucinihikioik
(gunshot and thud)
