Thanks but no thanks, Marley – obvious is as obvious does. That said, what you left out out of that quote is precisely what I am arguing about in so far as moderation:
See? I was responding to said comment in the second quote. Thus if I am going to be accused of “threadshitting” for your second cite you’d have to look at the context in which I did so – meaning, as I am showing you, that it was preceded by someone else making an off-topic comment.
That said, note that I am NOT asking for the warning to be rescinded, but rather proving that it was uncalled for. If that makes me persona non grata around here just say the word. I neither beg nor crawl.
Oakminster, appreciate your comprehension on the matter at hand and understand your bowing-out due to my rather brusque ways – but I don’t feel I need to be polite to anyone who tries to lord over me just because they feel they can; nor those who think they can poke me with a stick in a thread they have zilch to do with. I am who I am, and shall remain so till my last breath.
Best always.
