I was referring to your promise to come back if you get banned. It goes without saying that’s against the rules. If you want cites for your other behavior, you broke the rule against calling people liars earlier:

I moderated you for that one but didn’t give you a formal warning.

And you’re now tiptoeing up to our rules on personal insults:

> Direct personal insults of other posters and “flaming” are not permitted in Great Debates (or, indeed, in any SDMB forum outside of The BBQ Pit). The general rule is to attack the other poster’s _arguments_, rather than the other poster him- or herself.

Your disingenuousness about the ‘apes in my ancestry’ comment aside, you’re now coming pretty close to insulting other posters and you need to stop. Going on the attack in advance by daring people to ban you will not work.
