Speaking of age, how old are you Matt357?
Again, my remark was directed at your post, rather than at you personally, a distinction to which you evidently remain oblivious. However, if you don’t want people to think you’re dumb, then don’t post silliness like this:
For the record, I am of Swiss/German/Irish ancestry. However, my tutelary deity* is * Huitzilopochtli, the Southern Hummingbird, Aztec god of war and human sacrifice. (That’s me on the upper right, and a spammer on the upper left having his heart cut out.)
The good old days.
pssssssst: dude, have you seen a single person here taking your side? Think about that a minute.
No, I got a warning specifically for asking if someone was 12.
What, you link us to a photo of a guy wearing dark glasses with his face partially covered by a beard and turned away from the camera and you think we aren’t going to realise this is a guy desperately attempting to hide his Aztec origins?
The guy couldn’t be more of an Aztec if he was called Aztec McAztec of the Aztecs.
I just quoted the post where you got the warning. Read it again.
That was a second warning
Pull the plug. There is no hope for the patient.
Dear matt357,
You have received a warning at Straight Dope Message Board.

Warnings serve as a reminder to you of the forum’s rules, which you are expected to understand and follow.
Just looked at Colibri’s picture and if that’s Aztec, then I hereby declare myself 100 percent purebred Polynesian.
No, it wasn’t. You got two warnings: I quoted the first one, and the second one was the one you got today for ignoring Colibri’s instructions about uninformed medical crap. Don’t ask people to explain themselves if you’re not going to read what they tell you. It’s annoying.
As has been said, your post was a personal insult directed at the other poster, rather than at his remark. But my warning to you was not just for the insult, but also for your failure to follow my instructions (as was noted in the notification you received after the warning and which you quoted).
Did you see the pm I just posted it says it’s for personal insults and lists the insult as "are you 12?
Yes, I did. My mistake for saying it was only for ignoring his instructions. It was both.
Matt, maybe you need to consider that your world view is outside of the mainstream. And for that reason when you offer your views you’re going to need to provide us with something more than just you saying it. Try providing us with cites for these unorthodox views you’re posting here.
The automated warning system only permits one infraction to be listed in the title. My message in the body of the warning indicated that it was both for personal insults and for failure to follow instructions.
And you are still continuing to ignore my instructions.
This is true. Like I was saying earlier, the bit about citations is important to what we try to do here (especially in General Questions and Great Debates). And “I have a right to my opinion” doesn’t really fly here. This isn’t a constitutional republic, it’s a private message board. We have our own rules here.
Wait… so Colibri is an Aztec Vampire? Hmm, things are starting to make sense now…
