I once said I disagreed with a fellow YA user (phule_poet) and gave a few reasons for believing so. In response to my question he said I was moronic- I never responded to him. But I did responded to several others who I disagreed with. He mistakenly believed I was including him in this group. He then called me an idiot (among a few other insults). It was then I called him foolish, hotheaded, and idiotic for not thinking his answer through and for insulting me when it was altogether unnecessary. He then reported me and I received a violation notice. Do you think he was wrong for reporting me after he had just insulted me himself- especially after I did not insult him until he insulted me on two separate occasions?

Dont sink to his level of name calling again and just ignore him from now on. Take the high ground and if continues to bother you block him.

He probably was but in the future, just avoid his questions. As my grandmother said, "Two wrongs don't make a right." You don't get a free pass just because he mistook your insults. You probably could have reported him, as well. He just got to it first.
I just don't know why people have to resort to name calling. You can disagree without being disagreeable. I have seen far too many rude responses. It is most unfortunate.

You both are at fault.
You should have reported his agressive statements or have completely ignored him on everything. Your retorts, while prevoked, still violate the user agreement and policies of the site. Doesn't matter how many times he did it more than you, you did it more than 0 times.
He was not wrong for reporting you, as you did break the rules, he is, however, a hypocrite in my opinoin.
