    I posted this in Current Affairs, and wondered what the current boards position is on abuse

    "I have a question regarding site rules and their application to this thread. Abuse is a bannable offense across the site, yet I see people called scumbag, troll, bigot and others. Is this now ok because someone is dead?"

    You can't defame the dead.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
