I don’t get it. This is a common phrase. It has been used many times by various people on the SDMB without penalty. I don’t see why it is worth even a mod note, let alone a warning.

Examples:

\*\*DrDeth \*\*has used the exact same phrase several times without ever getting a note.

Or [this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21580814&postcount=314)from DSeid:

Since none of these were moderated, and there are probably many others, what was so bad about CarnalK’s post?
