Alright, Russ - you're back on here temporarily. Apparently, mwForum 2.15 doesn't count down the bans - you really were only set to one day.
That said, I've also heard tell that you might be chomping at the bit to tell us what-for. If you kick it up a notch, you might be in for a perma-ban.
In case you have one of any of the particular social blindness syndromes that are otherwise amenable to explanation, I'm going to give you a breakdown of the inflammatory reply you made that brought the house down in the first place, in the hopes that you might be able to understand it intellectually if you are unable to viscerally.

Inappropriate sarcasm. This would be appropriate if you had been directly addressed - which you were not - and were actually told that you had no clue - which is
not the case for an open question. Direct sarcasm is an
attack, and just this line alone would lead to at
minimum a confused or angry response asking you why you did so.

First point: This did not address the question at all. That's threadjacking, or more generically, derailment. Either way, it's an attempt to steal attention away from the person who originally asked the question, and because it is
not done so here to defuse a sensitive topic but rather to escalate, it comes across as extremely rude.
Second point: To add to the rudeness, this adds unwarranted arrogance. Statements of absolute certainty of correctness belittle
everyone else's contribution, and you have not earned the support for your own merit claim. Claiming unearned merit and besmirching that of others by fiat are both rude.

Do you believe me that Quasars can't be "Young" ??? If you don't You are `100% confused and this would be true for ALL mainstreamer's as well ;>))
Off-topic
and belitting. No amount of smileys can save this.

Now, you can ignore this and stay confused OR we can discuss it correctly (Without any "Accusations") and I will attempt to enlighten you with what I am already absolutely certain of...your choice.
The worst of the bunch. This is how it comes across:
"You can ignore this" equals "I've changed the topic - you better come on board"
"Correctly" equals your way.
"Accusations" equals ignoring the accusations that you started in your
very first paragraph.
"Enlighten" equals "you're stupid" in this context.
The entire reply you made reads like an attack.
If you
didn't mean it to come across this way, then check your work before posting at minimum.
If you
did, or you simply don't care - then I'd rather simply cut your ties to this forum than have you poisoning the discourse and driving away other people.
