I remember years ago when IIS was a small close-knit community & someone tried to bully me for a damned typo...Well it was the biggest mistake that pedant ever made in here because all my close friends ended up getting stuck in & he left the forum with his tail between his legs

Pedants & rude people be damned!

So doesn't this make you and your friends just as guilty of bullying, or was it Ok because he started it?

I thought Alex's post was quite good, but I don't believe your reply is in the same spirit.
