Exactly, so many times on CP you'll see "Look, I don't want to take this any further".......or, "I'm willing to be the bigger man and stop this bickering, but".........*insert poster continuing the bickering ie: trying to get the last word in*
It's always funny when you see posters take what they think will be the last shot at a poster, and they think that by prefacing the post with "This will be the last post about this, as we're de-railing the thread" or something to that effect, that they're removing the blame from themselves, and that the onus is now on the other poster to not respond to their latest reply.
