The only red blobs (including insults) I have ever received are from one person who on here publically takes the moral highgrounds and praises the civility of the new forum.
Hypocrits.

You should report the abuse though, mods probably don't have time to check through all reputation messages looking for offence. Any more.

Abuse, insults, and name-calling are absolutely not tolerated whether that be in the posts or the reputation points.
You may certainly report to the mod team any offensive wording.
We really care to keep EF a kind, considerate, and informative forum with a pleasant atmosphere.

I do mind hypocrits who pretend they are so much above the petty offensive trolling etc. - but then throw insults in private.

Either resolve it or drop it, I would suggest.
You clearly have now brought it to mod attention, so I am sure they will go check for you, congratz.

. | | | | | Why not? 
The more mature solution is to add that person on your ignore list, this way you'll never see any private messages from them. | Quote: | |  | | | The only red blobs (including insults) I have ever received are from one person who on here publically takes the moral highgrounds and praises the civility of the new forum.

Hypocrits. | | | | | I'd like to confirm - the only red blobs (until now) I've received are, in all likelyhood, by one person who, IMHO rides quite a high horse - very erratically | This user would like to thank LtSoftDrink for this useful post: | |
