I was a forum monitor and site administrator too in a previous life when I used to run a music site (You Tube Episodes & Music), but I never felt the need to suspend anyone's account in the space of two and a half years, so I guess I must be easy-going by nature, and I've never come across any difficult members here either.

It's rare but it does happen. Every once in a while I come across someone with a bug up their butt. It's often the same person.

Ha ha. Well, it's pretty difficult to get banned on here. You have to spam to have that happen it seems. 

Let me ask you this then since you are the only one responding here so far. How do you deal with inappproprate remarks? Do you shrug it off, insult them back, just ignore it or report them? I know it might depend on the situation but on average how do you typically deal with it? Just wondering.

Also, if you follow the posts on here and see the latest postings from myself then it should be apparent what post caused me to write this.

That seems like a last resort to me where I would have to explain why I was reporting the person and it would probably have to be something pretty extreme to do that. I was looking for an alternative to this.

What I would like to know is if someone is being less than  polite or respectful on here what is the best way to deal with it? I don't like the idea of these threads derailing and turning into personal attacks but at the same time it might not be necessary to just contact the moderators everytime someone is disrespectful. I guess the easy answer would be to just ignore them but then that could sort of be seen as giving them a free pass. Any ideas that might be helpful are appreciated.
