> In a recent GD thread, someone listed HD as a “moderate.” I responded by posting a link to one of the Sealion’s posts and then was warned that just quoting HD and asking if his own words seemed “moderate” was _unacceptable_. _ **I am on notice that if I do so again I am likely to be BANNED.** _

> Avoiding new mentions of the insipid HD is for _ **my self-protection** _: I’d prefer not to be BANNED.

> Another name on the Ignored list didn’t mention HD’s name, but did insult me as if asking to be Ignored.

> In future, I will ignore mentions of HD in _this_ thread, and possibly in BBQ Pit threads generally.

> As I say, I’m not acting out of spite or malice. **I want to minimize the chance that I will get BANNED by responding to post(s) about HD.**

> I hope that one of the newly-ignored will send me a PM. I’m curious if I’ll see it.
