What's tolerable banter versus harassment on the forum?

Yes Utah has dumb liquor laws. But if you decide to move somewhere based on beer you should reevaluate your priorities. I used to live in Colorado and there is a prolific drinking culture. Fridays and Saturdays afternoons and nights are all about drinking beer. That culture just doesn’t exist in Utah. People spend their timeout doing things and don't need beer to have a good time. If your good time relies on alcohol then stay in Crowdorado™. 

 

And lets be honestCO microbros…your crafty IPAs you dumped hops in all taste the same.

Who said anything about that?

Dang, and here I was wondering why no one in Colorado ever did anything outdoorsy. I can't seem to find a single person who skis, snowboards, rock climbs, mountain climbs, hikes, runs, paddleboards, rafts, bikes, and there's definitely no one here who plays Pinochle which really irritates me on my Friday afternoon blackout drunk get togethers.

Are those the same liquor stores that close at 4pm on a Friday? 

The two that are within 5 miles of my house close at 10p daily. 'Cept Sunday of course.

Stop arguing, you guys. You're all about to get reported by Kevin, the Heckeler for harassment.

Hey man, as soon as I get back from the liquor store, I'm going to religiously defend my choice of town. I might spin by the bar first to see who's there, but when I'm done with that, I'll be back. Shoot, it's Saturday, two for one Singha at Bangkok Happy. Alright, first thing tomorrow afternoon, I'm all over this.

You're all interchangeable, anyway.

And, everyone missed the obvious answer:

If it's me taking shots at you, it's acceptable banter.

You shooting back is harassment.

Wrong name, we should just string ya up.

Lol! OLH

I feel I'm being trolled/harassed by a member.  I've reported both posts and the only official response was by an admin suggesting I need to stop reading the forum ("turn off your auto-reply", which I guess I'm not entirely sure what it means since I wasn't the problem member).

The posts:

This isn't the first time this member has singled out my posts for their special treatment.

Are there any admins that actually handle issues and enforce the rules?  To me this seems like a cut/dry case.

This guy is the real troll here folks. Nobody is that sensitive, but on the off chance this guy really is made of glass and fairy dust than chances are he's already offed himself and we need concern ourselves any longer

Most of the time these types of threads arent worth the long read .... this one is a great waste of time cause it stayed entertaining!
