    The second condones physical violence.

    big difference between insulting another user and making an unfunny joke. I certainly hope the poster was joking....

    you stupid PC idiot

    Thats an insult
    Kill her, cut her up, and put her in a suit case

    Thats a joke.

    If they were not, they must be rich - with the new charges on luggage, with a bag that weight it would be cheaper to buy them a seat

    What's to say Orange2's post wasn't?

    'Racist bastard' is personal abuse.

    The way each post was phrased gives me the impression that the two posters had very different intentions. The first was ironic. The second didn't spot the irony and reacted venomously. That's how I see it anyway.

    I'm just happy I don't have to mod AH! :D

    Best to report any post you find suspect and then the Mods will see it and make a decision on it

    They might not see it here

    This. It can be very hard to keep tabs on things, particularly with a high traffic forum. Reporting the posts pretty much guarantees people will look at it. If you're part of a forum where reported posts don't seem to be looked at or there's a major time delay(a few days, not hours folks ;):)), then bring it to here or the helpdesk forum or PM one of the mods, cmods or admins for clarification.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
