Oh, come on…if you’re so thin-skinned that this ‘constant reminder’ is going to ruin the next 50 years of your life, then the Internet is no place for you.
You insulted someone (the fact that you meant it as a joke is immaterial).
You got called on it.
Take your lumps, and move on.
He insulted my username! 
(Cole Oyl) "You owe me an Apology".
I’d still like to know why his username is appropriate if he’s not being told he’s a Hal man or a half wit.
I didn’t know that. But if it’s on the bottom, don’t scroll down. Problem solved.
Look on the bright side. Maybe you won’t live fifty more years! I know I won’t.
Makes one reflect on mortality, don’t it? DrDeth’s warning is going to outlive me.
O/T I’ve had the odd warning and was even suspended a few years back (posted a ‘joke’ thread in The Pit) and Lynn wasn’t feeling merciful despite it being New Years Eve. 
But I can’t find a record of them anywhere! Where do I begin looking? 
For what it’s worth, if you click the double arrows at the side of the Infractions section, it hides the details. It’s better than nothing.
We only started the automated Warning system in 2009. Before that we kept track of them with a manual system that didn’t place a record in your profile. So you won’t be able to see any warnings before that.
That doesn’t mean we don’t still have them, though. 
Damn.
I guess you should have called him a closed minded jewish vermin.
Little rude there?
Nah, despite our disagreements, the Staff here is pretty decent, considering how overworked and razzed on they are. It’s just that they never change their minds.
I agree. If there’s a non-insulting joke, I don’t get it.
Also what’s the big deal, they’ve repeated said you can’t use people’s usernames as a way to insult them.
A patently false statement. There are many instances in which a warning has been reversed; I’ve done so myself a number of times. It’s just in this case there’s no reason to change our minds.
You’re now like the second or third person to ask who has been ignored, so I’m adding my voice to the chorus out of curiosity. What was the intended joke then, por favor?
HMHW’s posts are equal parts debonair wordplay and raw masculinity.
Hell, I’M starting to feel embarassed on her behalf.
Obviously it was a play on words with his name, but if you have to ask, it wasn’t funny.
Then have the courtesy to explain it to us.
You insist when you said that he has “an appropriate user name” that you weren’t trying to imply that he was a half wit?
Ok, what were you trying to imply?
That he was half man?
I believe you’ve been asked now three or four times so please have the courtesy and the integrity to answer or just admit you were trying to insult him and are angry about being warned for insulting him.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Oops!
I misworded that and shouldn’t have used the word “integrity” since it could be misconstrued.
Anyway, please explain how you were making a “play on words” but weren’t intending to suggest that he was a “half-wit”.
What is this “Infractions” tab?
It’s on the main page of the User CP. Presumably it isn’t there if one hasn’t received a warning. (If you close it up, the header for it shows “0 points received”, which is a lot more soothing than “Never”.)
