What should forum policy be on defamatory posts?

I could clarify my original response. For some folks it may be unkindness to point out the inconsistencies of another. Another may point them out through ignorance. Another may point them out sadistically. Another may point out inconsistencies from a feeling of superiority. Another may point out inconsistencies out of sheer silliness. Others may do it as a matter of fact. 

I don't see why it really matters.

Not to be pedantic, but anyone who thinks ignorance is an insult is simply ignorant of the definition. We are all ignorant of huge swathes of knowledge.

Not to be repetitive but that's not right.

synonyms:
rude, impolite, ill-mannered, bad-mannered, unmannerly, ungracious, discourteous, insensitive, uncivil, ill-humoured, surly, sullen; More
boorish, oafish, loutish, crude, coarse, vulgar, gross
"she could be very ignorant, and he had no intention of getting in an argument"


antonyms:
polite

Whatever. The original and main definition is a lack of knowledge or understanding. It is value neutral. I've already stated in what manner I used the word. I can't account for every connotation that has developed surrounding the word. I've never personally used the word ignorance in any manner other than the way that I have stated. And I've defined within my post how I used it.

Looks like you may have been ignorant of the way your words might be interpreted.

I'm ignorant of nearly everything. So I wouldn't doubt it.

In my book, Pssst is an exception because he has no wish to listen to other people - he would rather continue to behave as though he were an authority on everything.  

So?

Even if that was true, and it is not, why are you getting your pinky pants in a wad over someone else's actions, opinions or statements? You are doing this to yourself and futile attempts to blame it on me or Linda or Jesus H. Christ is nothing more than an expression of a preference of yours to be seen and act as a victim.

This is too true.

This is too true.

In your opinion ?

This is too true.

It is, but Brian was pretty much on point with Pssst who's either a troll or simply a poster too perplexingly absolute for my taste.
