The mod note was appropriate.
Rickjay’s instruction to take it to ATMB was apropriate.
ECG’s reminder to take it to ATMB, saying that a violation would result in a warning, was appropriate.
Hari_Seldon’s note, 2 hours later, in the post immediately following ECG’s post, and saying the exact same thing, was ridiculous. Doesn’t he ever read the threads he moderates?
