I sort of agree with **MrDibble** here. @Aspenglow, if you were unsure as to the appropriate sanction I think you should have held off on [post #8](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kudos-to-elton-john/963951/8) until you received feedback from the other mods. I don’t think it is appropriate for a moderator to opine (in official colors) that a post constitutes hate speech and simultaneously that no warning will be issued, it sends the wrong message.
