You and U479 make a nice pair; why don't you go start a forum somewhere together and leave the rest of us in peace?

Heh... nice one David...
Seriously, though, Renegade, Ultimatum, Colicedus, STFU. It stopped being funny about three days ago.
And, Ultimatum, a friendly piece of advice: if you want them to stop harassing you, don't take the bait.
It's as simple as that.
Plus, you could also try posting in a more friendly, helpful and humble manner, rather than just constantly insulting people for no good reason.
You know, you people seem to wonder quite a lot as to why there's very few new members... this is the sort of thing that drives people away. Do you really want to be known as the forum that had to get nuked because it descended into all-out constant flame-wars?
If you find yourself getting upset at someone's posts, go outside (you do know what that is, right?), run around (or, failing that, walk, or failing that, find a dirty magazine (and not dirty as in, covered in dirt)), come back when you're a little less angry, and try looking at the post from a more optimistic point of view.
You'll often find that the post probably wasn't meant to be offensive or sound stupid, but that it was probably a small dose of ignorance on the other person's part. So enlighten them, in a friendly way that makes them feel like you were just being helpful. Don't get all arrogant and huffy, calling into question the other party's intelligence, or their right to be on the forum.
Now, why the hell did I make this post when I know nobody will listen?

When did I ever say I had a problem with it? It's rather amusing. They can keep it up all they want.

It's really not a case of whether you have a problem, it's a case of other people getting sick and tired of the stupidity of the constant back-and-forth bullshit that keeps spouting from all of you.

I was referring to that part of your post.

I think that rule has/should have an emphasis on "Specifically"…

This is very satisfying.

Can I at least say this?
Before David got his satisfaction, I wrote:Don't tell me there's no such thing as coincidence: I've seen it happen. So - Do great minds run in the same track, or do fools think alike?
And how about
this? It's outside the forum.

That is creative enough to be ok... once. In the future it will have to stay in its own thread because when every thread is derailed by flaming, it is impossible for anyone to talk about anything else.
