It means there's kids around, and you need to get rid of them because the are starting to annoy the crap out of you...so you give them the excuse that it's time for them to leave, because you want to have an "adult" conversation...

Well I guess you'd start by respecting the opinion of others, you'd then (if you disagreed) retort with an intelligent, factual based response pertaining to the matter at hand instead of resorting to name calling and sarcastic comments.
I guess acting like an adult would also mean being responsible for your own actions and realising when you've made a mistake and apologising for it.
Or you could just say my Dad is bigger than your Dad?

My actual opinion is that to act like an adult means to take responsibility for your actions, pay your bills on time, treat others with respect and dignity, treat others the way you want to be treated, and do the next right thing as often as possible.
I fall far short of this mark quite often, unfortunately, but I keep trying. Which is the other adult thing for me these days, which is to just keep trying, no matter what the adversity may be, or what it may appear to be, since I have learned that things are not always what they appear to be.

If I had aired my opinion, it would have just set the whole thing going again
As my workload increases one of two things will happen. I will become short tempered and just summarily delete threads or I will walk away. Neither of which are satisfactory responses (however good that feels at the time). Perhaps a cooling off period would be in order for those who feel that it's fun to diminish others in any way.
Yes that is a direct warning or threat - whatever way you want to read it. I no longer have the time for the sound approach of getting to the bottom of the problem and trying to find a middle ground where all are equally (un)happy.

1. no racism, don't be a moron and argue with the mods, etc.
Care to persist ? It is after all exactly what I'd like you to do, then we can give up with nonsense & get the forum back to being about helping folks, with a little light banter inbetween, instead of letting you look more of an idiot, than you obviously were in the first place.
