LOL, please shower them with passive aggression! When it came to the Great Ping Debacle, where I pinged one person with relevant information, then got told off twice, I considered simply pinging myself with every message of mine just as protest. (I will do it if I get told off for pinging people again. Watch me get kicked off the server, lol.)
