What about post #61:
From what I understand, the legitimacy of your questions isn’t in dispute at hand–it’s that you posted the comments in the wrong forum. ISTM that (in general) there are are at least three classes of posts that are note-able or warning-able based on location: personal insults outside the pit, political pot-shots in GQ, and discussions of mod actions outside ATMB. Note that the intent of the post isn’t necessarily relevant–the insult may be justified, the pot-shot may be funny, and the grieved mod action may be warranted. But that’s beside the point; the tangential (or even somewhta relevant) questioning or commentary, per SDMB Mod Rules/Policy, must be severed from the thread and put in ATMB. This, of course, is only my interpretation of the situation.
To further complicate it, there seem to be three issues at play. First, whether or not you were being rude, second, whether or not Bricker’s summary of your posts were accurate, and three, whether your further discussion were arguing with Mod instructions/actions.
ISTM that the gist of the Marley’s statements focused on alleged rudeness and arguing the point; the accuracy of Bricker’s statement appeared tangential. That is, disputing *that *doesn’t seem to rise to the level of arguing with mod instructions. Marley: Had another poster independently chimed in with a different viewpoint or disputed Bricker’s assessment, would they have gotten a warning as well?
