Over the years there has been a lot of "rough and tumble" and even some good natured jesting. I can get caught up in the hilarity as much as anyone.
I currently have 4 "Infractions" and "Warnings" on my AFF account. For purposes of review, here are the offending posts. In some cases the post was modified by admin. I will provide you with the original offending language whenever this has occurred. I only ask that you compare my "Infractions" and the things I said to "earn" an infraction with some of the insulting and derogatory tone that pervades many poster's communications today.
An "additional note:" When a post is tagged as an "Infraction" a RED CARD appears with the post in the lower right hand corner. A YELLOW CARD is given for a "Warning."
The Infractions of Pelathais:
Called another poster out on his "misrepresentation" of a UPC Youth Conference service. A "warning" was issued but the offending poster who told an outright... "misrepresentation" ... was never warned or otherwise challenged. I was sticking up for the UPC on this one. The "charge" was "Insulting Another Member."

On this post I was celebrating the victory of a local baseball club that clinched the first World Series appearance in franchise history. The offending term I used was
"Freaking World Series Baby!."

On the next one I was "encouraging" "Pastor Poster" to
"tear him another corn chute..." The him was the poster known as Daniel Alicea. Because I had already received a warning for saying
"Freaking World Series Baby!" - when I used the phrase
"corn chute" I was dinged with an outright infraction. An admin inserted the "calm down..." statement.

I really have no idea about the next one, except that I was sticking up for the UPC again (do I sense a trend?). The poster whose baseless allegations I was challenging turned out to be an Admin, but I needed a PM at the time to point that out to me. He posted under a large number of pseudonyms.
