Good point. However you fail to notice that you only continuate the
escalating violence by bitching at him.
The best thing to do would have been to send them a private email,
which doesn't necessarilly have to be 'nicely worded', or to have
politely asked him not to insult people on the boards.
You set a bad example by using bash tactics instead of being nice.
And remember: As a Mod, if someone can't be nice, you can ban them.
And ultimately, everyone has someone that can ban them. Even mods.
