I've read the vaunted FOI forum and it doesn't seem like this new directive is being universally applied. Anyway, since you asked, I'll answer.

Um, unless the post is empty, EVERY post has some sort of thought process behind it. People do things because they are motivated to do them, if they weren't motivated to do them they wouldn't do them.

So it's not a directive no. I did enjoy the backhanded criticism though.

But do you care if someone else finds your posts insulting?

Enough poking eventually becomes malicious, even if it isn't the intent. You try to summon the motivation to deal with something current when you can't ever escape being poked for things that happened in the distant past.

Who knows, maybe it's because the mods think more of your opinion than others? Or that they believe you do it knowing full well what it is you are doing whereas others just don't know any better? Who can understand the human heart.

Sure, but there must be a way to do it without it being sarcasm directed at a few individuals.

Find a way. You say you post here solely for your own enjoyment. The mods do not have that luxury, trying to deal with stuff that people post is often FAR from enjoyment. Words have power, and intent or not sometimes they can cause harm when the desire is just for entertainment.
