LOL, whatever. I really don’t care. Last time I was suspended it was over mod created controversy. So most of my warnings come from that little debacle. The stakes are low and I don’t back down to petty abuses of authority. You could’ve locked it, or you could’ve waited the 30 seconds for **whack-a-mole** to spark a debate. And yes, I could’ve ignored you, and responded to **whack-a-mole** and the debate would’ve been sparked and what you said wouldn’t have mattered. So whatever. I didn’t respect your authoritay and you really needed to show me that its meaningful. So I embrace the meaningfulness of your authoritay and am letting people know that I am treading on thin ice and won’t be around for much longer. I’m not seeking a banning, but you have said it was certain, and as you were instrumental to the goading of the last controversy, I figure it’ll only be a matter of time til I say something sardonic that you interpret as insulting, and I get banned. So whatever. I respect your authoritay, and recognize that by your authoritay, my time here is limited. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-pre-emptive-goodbye/527417)._
