Actually, from an outside point of view (bearing in mind I haven't touched that thread for a bit and thus don't really care for its bilge-esque content anymore), you seemed to be trolling with that response, with what was essentially sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming you're right whilst egging Elf on.

I simply told Phagocyte that in view of his/her attitude in the 'Step Outside' to me I am not responding to his/her points elsewhere in the forum (unless I absolutely have to).

Which, for the purpose of
not hijacking a topic, should be left to PMs.

I stand by that. I am seeking to avoid the problems certain relatively new posters (who don't appear to have any real interest in the EU issue, by the way) have brought to the forum - and intend to do so by ignoring their postings where possible.

"Ignoring their posts"
isn't synonymous with taking psuedo-superiority attitude and replying to the posts saying "I'm not going to reply to you.". Bit of an oxy-moron, regardless.

'Coward' is hardly a word worth complaining about. My dictionary says it means "lacking courage". Not exactly an earth-shattering criticism.

Actually it can easily be taken as a direct attack considering there is, in no way, evidence stating Mr. Elf is, in fact, lacking in courage at all. And an accusation like that will be taken to heart by more sensitive people.
Although don't take my word for it, by all means. This is just my humble musing.
