> [@Peter\_Morris](#): > > link? I can’t find it. Well, you wouldn’t. It was the warning **BrainGlutton** received a few days ago, that you were disputing in **mhendo** ’s ATMB thread. I called out **BG** ’s post in the warning I posted to the thread, but then clicked on the “Give Warning” button on the post below his, which was **mhendo** ’s. He PM’d me and I corrected it the same day. There isn’t any evidence of the mistake on the board, unless you’ve got access to the Infraction system or **mhendo** ’s or my PM accounts. Or, you know, this thread, now that I’ve been posting about it. > [@Siam Sam](#): > > What is this, the Catholic Church? Where’s Martin Luther when you need him? He’s nailing his forty thesis to our server as we speak. This may cause some temporary outages. ---

The original was so mean that he did go medieval on the Church by posting 95 thesis. Be happy with their mercy **Siam Sam**! 🙂 ---

Yeah, but a “reverse warning” is like “double secret probation”. This may not end well. ---
