It was if he was the univoter.

In which case it was justified.

Yeah, now had he called him a mormon, well then that'd have been different.

Are you saying:
1) All Univoters are Mormons?
2) All Mormons are Univoters?
3) All Mormons are morons?
4) All morons are Mormons?
or
5) Some combination of the above.

I'd like to keep my mormon opinions to myself!

...Because they are in general a nice, wholesome bunch, (give or take the outliers that every religion has).

I was not serious there Chris and hence the smiley. While I am not religious myself I don't usually put down religions and sub-religions, I just ignore them most of the time. I just picked mormon here because it went with moron in the OP's post, and like muslims and jews, mormons are also often mass stereotyped unfairly - I just used that with purely humorous intent.

And their most famous adherents have really great teeth.

He's not calling you a moron, he's calling the 1-voter a moron because his post got 1-voted without any comment.

Thank you all for your comments. I agree with what you say.
But this forum is for intellectual and technical people. There should be no room for any such words here. Rest all your wish.
Thank you for sparing your valuable time to read my views. Please feel free to suggest and comment on my articles. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

No, it's for anyone. Whether they are intellectual, technical or not is irrelevant; and a bit of gentle abuse from time to time helps to stop us getting "too up ourselves", as we non-intellectuals like to say.

The problem is not in the question but in Luc's answer. You need to fix the html in Luc's response.

Thanks but the answer was locked out, Improve Answer wasn't working. I assume because the answer had been accepted. Or perhaps because of the formatting. Someone with higher powers has corrected it though.

It seems Luc edited his answer a few minutes ago.

Yes, I visited the answer (as I was suddenly getting a comment and some rep points on it) and was surprised to see a </span> in the middle of a CODE block, so I removed the SPAN thingy.
In fact, there seem to be a lot of HTML tags I never intended to be there (just like there were in the question, and Mark has been removing there).

Wow, how do you track that at that level?

With an intricate combination of mind melt with the CP servers, mail notifications, and rep history reporting. Nothing illegal.

For long posts, it seems the site silently truncates the text. Is there an "unofficial" maximum character limit for a post?
Note that old posts with really long content have the same problem, so either some data was lost during a DB update, or maybe you are only selecting the first n characters, where n is the new max limit.
|
|
|
|
|
I suspect that some of the formatting problems that occur are due to the limit removing closing html. I would have expected to see limits in place being indicated up front, so that the truncation does not end up surprising the user.
|
|

|

What's weirder is it happens to old posts too. So all of a sudden you have posts that have truncated content. I hope it's a bug in the client side fetch/display rather than data loss during their last DB update.

No, it was a simple mistake in the code that fetches the messages from the database. For some reason we didn't catch it in testing. We'll ease up on the egg-nog.
