> [@Starving\_Artist](#): > > **Colibri** further admonishes me that **Marley** has advised me to “let this drop” in an apparent effort to bolster his own shaky reasoning for warning me, but in fact what **Marley** advised was that I would be wise to drop my attempts at rebutting asides made outside the Paterno thread as he felt I was doing myself no good by doing so. In other words, he appeared to be trying to counsel me rather than giving me an order. The post where he said this can be found [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15628208&postcount=83). My ‘drop it’ advice came later On the second page of the thread I said this: > [@Complaint about a warning](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/complaint-about-a-warning/638776/56): > > I will say, **Starving Artist** , that it’s been explained to you before that ATMB is not the place to argue and re-argue this issue. You can do it in the Pit thread, but not here. Even if there is an ATMB thread about this paper towel tube thing, that’s not intended as a platform to you to offer your theories on the case again and again. This forum is for discussion of the rules. Next time, keep my and **Colibri** ’s posts in mind before you start. I hope we don’t have many more threads about this and I don’t intend to create a situation where you can be attacked and cannot respond, but if you do continue to defend your “theory” again and again in ATMB, I will consider that a violation of the rules. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/another-complaint-about-a-warning/638955)._
