A fight broke out I understand. Invoking or provoking the feds is another matter. Everyone knows that boards are spider bait and are watched. I am not quite sure what you mean by the above quote, but it does not look good. A good rumble on a keyboard is fair game. Calling "the cops" is an instant disqualification in my books. Personally, I don't see anything laughable in that. Perhaps I am missing something.
The rest of the argument you guys are having or perhaps "continuing" is fair and square. Its this legal issue that disturbs me.
