I received an infraction, who thinks I was in the wrong?

ok little head up on why I joined RIU, my friend has garden Knowms book about cfls, I googled the name garden Knowmn, And I found this site, seemed really cool, and their are some great ambasadors here..
I liked this site because it seemed like a lot of people asking advice and giving advice in a cool enviorment.

So anyways..(sorry Im baked)

I was looking through the new threads, and there was a post about losing weight with cocain. I read through the thread and basically some people were giving advice, quitte a few were just talking smack.. I gave my honest opinion of what I thought might be a good means of action, which was trying the atkins diet, I have seen quite a few people do really well on it, although I know it does have some health effects.

So later on.. after numerous people making fun of him(the poster) he is obviously feeling pretty discourged.

so I come back to see what he has decided to do and I come across this posting

What is everyones opinion on this.. do I deserve the infraction? or not even... I was just trying to rep for someone who was getting told they have no hope...

any comments guys/gals?

who cares if you got an infraction man.
You insulted the dude who wasn't even talking to you.

I mean cool you tried to help him out but what does it really matter?

Seems to me like you should just let it all go

Doesn't seem reasonable. Maybe the language, but I've seen a lot worse here. Probably the guy you called a db has Elite memebership with the power to negative rep. Had something similar happen to me once.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Turn the other cheek.

Golden rule.

Read the forum rules. You broke them. Suck it up.

I changed my mind.
I followed the thread. You got in a real flame war. There is no upside to that in this forum. Cheech probably got an infration too.
You were both wrong.

these threads are how you get banned after an infraction

Internet drama. Sorry, but I have no extra comments to spare at this time.

heres some good advice.
do not rehash your infraction on a thread.(pm mod)
A simple apology and I bet your infraction would have gotten over turned by the same mod.
Your only making it worse for yourself, now this mod is going to react, since you are calling him out.

It's a kool web site, don't worrie about this, it's nothing personal(how could it be?)

There are no personal attacks here. Swearing and name calling is not tollerated.
