What someone puts in their signature is entirely up to them.

How (or whether) you respond to someone's signature is entirely up to you.

I'm reminded of a hobbyist computer network that I was a member of some time ago. Being comprised of people from around the world, it was only natural that disputes would arise from differences of opinion about politics, religion, methods of preparing barbecue, the virtues of superchargers vs turbochargers, etc etc.

People would usually simmer down after somebody (eventually) brought up the two major tenets that members agreed to when joining the network:

  1. Thou shalt not excessively annoy others.
  2. Thou shalt not be too easily annoyed.

When I find myself getting worked up over something someone has said online, I recall these words and try to act accordingly.

Personally, I skip over sigs and would not have noticed karlgoethebier's sig if roho had not pointed it out.
