Complaint and need a explaination

so I reported to mods about a post that was made. This post used the word " E-Thug " to describe me.
now here is the definition of the word E-Thug
1. e-thug
Electronic thug. A pale, pimple faced, skinny white kid who would most likely burn up if he came into contact with natural sunlight. Spends all of his time threatening people over the internet to compensate for his lack of a life and hatred of humanity for not accepting him.
I take the "pale, pimple faced, skinny white kid" as a personal insult. This is also something racial. It is a racial stereotype.
Dani says "no action will be taken, go talk to a ombudsman" without an explanation. and so i am here.

Out of all the things you could take offense to.. you pick
that?
I trust the Ombudsman will help you with that.
Good luck with this one, Jim.

I did send an explanation you did not seem to like

E-Thug is a common term used on the internet, describing a person that is bullying others on internet forums, message boards etc.
It is not a derogatory term per se and can be compared to other terms like noob etc.
I love the hypocrisy though. For someone who just told me to go **Filtered** myself, you get offended very easily by being called an e-thug

How is a user really suppose to come here with an issue when the Mods can bully them and insult them and the admin can be sarcastic before the Ombs can even get a chance to do his job.
Could you all just be patient while the Ombudsman and Knowledge have a conversation.

I do not appreciate you accusing me of insulting an user or bullying them, when I did explain to the why I did not take no action about the word "e-thug" being used.
So please, stay away with your flaming or point me to the part of the pm/post where I did insult or bully Knowledge.

I wouldnt say you insulted me or bullied me, its just your explanation isnt enough and i dont see why this should not result in a warning.
it is clearly a personal insult, and if its not, then i need to know why not. this is something you forgot in ur msg and that is why im posting it up here.

E-Thug isn't a real word so you can't exactly find a reputable source for the definition. For actual words you could look in Webster's or something like that... Your definition of "E-Thug" is clearly skewed to suit your case.

No it is not... That definition as I said is not a definition of the word, look at how much it adds to make it offensive..
An E-Thug is someone who bullies others over the internet
That is the definition of it...
