Bolty,
I know that you're just trying to keep the peace, but I can't help feeling that those who are sufficiently offended by a relatively good-natured joke about their server to start a flame war should probably take a month or so off of gaming... I just don't see the 'little respect for others' bit in Artega's post. In fact, in this particular circumstance, I don't think that that was the case, at all. The initial comment certainly didn't warrant this response from lurkers, and there is a strong case to be made that the flames in response outweighed the initial joke - particularly given Artega's tone in subsequent posts.
I don't like it one bit. Some folks need to take a deep breath and relax - this isn't a forum troll, it's a regular poster who should be given the benefit of the doubt.
But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
William Shakespeare - Richard II
