If a person is able to freely antagonise another (regardless of someone having short fuse or not) or take every opening to express their negativity towards another, if that all comes under "it's ok because it's just an opinion" or "it's ok as long as you don't think they're present at the time",...I think it's something that ought to be stopped. It's not the act as much as the intent, and I'd think in this case it was clear

Of course if we consider that having a short fuse is not the norm, then provoking it might not necessarily mean somebody has stepped out of line - only perhaps in the view of the person with the short fuse concerned. I would say it is up to that individual to fall into line with the general protocol, rather than for the forum to create special needs situations which could be neverending and open to far too much interpretation. My simianophobic condition would never lead to less monkey references being actioned, for example.
So far as a libellous false quote is concerned, I agree it is out of order.
