Well said Smiles. I have PM'd my support to Dodger, but will add to the "put them on ignore" comment you received in answer from the moderators. Yes in some cases it helps, but with a certain pair (names not required) who might answer a post an untold number of times, one of them even answers himself, having them on ignore ruins what might have originally started out as a very good post and does not fix the problem. Once another poster quotes with a reply it's all there to read whether the 'ignore' is used or not. Occasional sarcasm and witty comments can be a good thing, and indeed lighten some posts, but trying to be sarcastic or witty when you are clearly not is a different thing altogether.
