> [@G-SE](#): > > He’s averaging some kind of mod interaction about once a month, sometimes within just days of a previous scolding. Why do these continued infractions never amount to at least an official warning or anything harsher than “knock it off”? As I _also_ said in the other thread, he has been warned at times, and I typically opt for mod notes instead of warnings because his posts are generally on topic but will also have some kind of enormous generalization or inflammatory statement. > [@Nzinga\_Seated](#): > > Welp. It is begun. I guess I can cross Der Trish off my ‘interesting posts to read on the dope’ list, along with Dio. Won’t be long now. You can skip the melodrama; we don’t ban people by popular vote. > [@](#): > > Are we to the point where we just want anyone who has an opinion that we find stupid to be warned until finally banned? I think posters here have been asking this for about 10 years - so probably not. > [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > And I have gotten two warnings over the years; one for personal insult (that I don’t think was one), and one of which was just a misunderstanding on the mod’s part (confusing “you” as a inclusive term for people in general, for you as in the poster I was talking to). It wasn’t a misunderstanding. You wrote this to a conservative poster: > [@"When Did The GOP Lose Touch With Reality" by David Frum](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/when-did-the-gop-lose-touch-with-reality-by-david-frum/604320/121): > > It’s not like there’s any other alternative; the Republicans are crazy and unscrupulous. Supporting them means that you are too, or that you are too stupid/ignorant to realize it. Which is pretty insulting and the wording suggested it was directed at another (conservative poster). If you’d skipped the “you” part I might’ve reacted differently. But moving on: > [@](#): > > Because I do “knock it off”. In the context of individual threads, yes, you do. But you repeat the same behavior in a lot of threads. Try avoiding the “religious people hate women and want them to die” and “Republicans hate the poor” stuff and you won’t get the mod notes in the first place. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/curious-when-enough-is-enough-der-trihs/658461)._
