Did you miss the first modnote somehow? You posted in reply to it, so odd that you forgot it.

As you chose to ignore said note, my choices were to close the thread or give you a warning and maybe still close the thread.

This got the thread closed:

> [@Is now a good time to talk about gun safety laws?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-now-a-good-time-to-talk-about-gun-safety-laws/938605/125):

> My useful suggestion is that, moving forward, we just ignore the same old disingenuous talking points rather than turning this thread over to re-litigating the same old bullshit like a thousand threads before. Maybe if we starve the bad-faith debaters of oxygen they’ll eventually return to their own laughing-gas-filled bubbles.

Misrepresenting the sequence of events isn’t really a good thing to do.
