I don't remember voting on anything, but that's beside the point. Presumably, we are all adults here and should be able to deal with some perceived (or real) insults. Grow a pair, either fight back or ignore. Crying to mommy/daddy about it is about as juvenile as it gets, and definitely, absolutely, stifles discussion and debate.
If one has to weigh every word one utters (depending on who is moderating on any given day), the forum becomes stultifyingly boring.
Just my two cents.
