If everyone were to ignore the jab, and respond to the intended content, everyone would be much happier.

Its time we all grow up just a little, and realize that what someone says about someone else will only be taken with a grain of salt. I personally disrespect those who jab others. I get to the point where I know which posters I do not wish to frequent and dont.
If we continue to ignore those posters who cant stay polite, they will eventually either shape up or leave.

How many of you growing up heard that the one who spreads gossip to you, will eventually spread gossips about you...so you should not partake?

You're right, of course.

But sometimes making people aware that you've got their number helps them do a little better next time. It's another approach to the problem, and IMO worth a try.
