I realize it’s a minor thing, but I told the guy three separate times that he needed to lay off with the big text and crazy colors and gave him a separate mod note for insults. I even gave him an extra shot after I told him “last chance.” Given that he was nuts and not listening, I felt I had to pull the plug. [All of those notes were in his other thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=663544)

I realize your ideas are being mocked (no surprise there), but other posters are following the rules and you are not. You can mock their ideas, but you can’t insult other posters by implying they are dumbasses or saying they are drunk. Last chance.

I did not get any complaints about his fonts. I did get two reports suggesting the OP was spamming, one that said he was trolling, and one that notified me he was ignoring my instructions (which I already knew).
