Damned right I pointed out his malicious needling. Guettarda began attacking Alphax only after Alphax had stopped his admittedly hostile remarks, saying "I'm putting myself on moderation." So, please explain: Is launching personal attacks at a person who has said he is refraining from responding a virtue? If Guettarda had succeeded in provoking an angry response from Alphax, would he be considered even more admirable?
From my point of view, Alphax jumped into the conversation to say
several pretty insulting and stupid things, then as soon as anyone took issue with that, left the conversation without apology. Not sure that should save him from criticism.
