I don’t think **Habeed** ’s posts were all that bad (translation: I tend to agree with him), but instead, the problem was the ranting tone, as well as being a ways off-topic. The thread is about traffic tickets, and the various offending posts mostly weren’t.

Did I get any warnings (or even mod notes) for my two posts?

If so, I didn’t see them. I think the differences are (1) I stuck to the topic of traffic tickets, and (2) I supported the immediate claims in the post with some personal observations.

Maybe those are the reasons (that perhaps **Colibri** forgot to mention?) beyond the reasons he did mention for the warnings?
