Or as Paj explained the abuse section;

"Basically, it's the pub senario...if your having a beer in a pub and chatting away to someone and you start to disagree about each others views on a subject. You then start to lose it and call them names, this is abuse. Say for example we are having a disagreement about something and it gets a little heated, we both trying to put across our views until I crack and say "thats a fucked idea you peice of shit, why don't you fuck off and die you stupid dick. Have you even got a farken brain you fuckwit" Thats abuse, and in a pub situation a person is likely to stand up and have a swing. The idea here is to avoid the abuse and swinging, so to do that there is a abuse rule, most follow it, but when your passionate about something, then you can lose your rag very quickly and say a few words which may need a little time away to reflect on the subject.

My way of thinking is it's to easy to fall into the trap of abuse, some people try and get a reaction....take a few deep breaths and don't take the bait.
There's a fine line between abuse in some situations, this is then left to the mod's discretion. Sometimes a post will be full of abuse with smilies attached to the end of every sentence, again left to the mod's discretion.

It's simple, start flinging shit about expect a ban of some sorts."
