To be fair, Yup didn't insult OP right off the bat. He found himself in a battle and thus needed to defend himself. However he and anyone else does that is on them.

Also...this thread is not like a party thrown at a public park. A party thrown at a public park still only invites people they know, making it at least semi-private. No one throws a part at a park and invites everyone in town. If you post a public thread, everyone is automatically invited whether you like them and/or their opinions or not.

What I took from the beginning of all this was Yup stated Gauntlet was lame. That's not belittling. That's an opinion. Maybe one OP didn't ask for, but Yup was not out of bounds to express this opinion in a thread about Gauntlet. Now, if he said the post was lame and pointless and OP was a moron for posting it to begin with, that could be argued as belittling.

For the record, I am not part of Yup's clan. I was not sicced on anyone here. Just expressing an opinion in a public forum based on the contents inside said public forum.
