internet etiquette question

[jann1033]

i have noticed sometimes some post on here are argumentative. i know if you started the thread you can ask for it to be locked but if someone is directing the rude stuff at you what is the proper thing to do?..usually i review what i have posted and if i see how it could sound rude change it but what if that isn't the case..should you just ignore it( tried that and they persisted) try to explain( doesn't always work) tell them you aren't responding? don't really know what you are supposed to do..in real life it's different so just not sure what is the correct way to handle something here so it doesn't get out of hand.
Thanks

If they persisted, depending on what they said, I'd notify an administrator by pm and/or go under "User CP" and start an ignore list.

You can all notified the moderators by clicking the red triangle (repost bad post) in the bottom left of the post

Report that person to the moderator so he/she can get banned.
