This is fair notice to you. I’m done with you interjecting your pet topic of statism or authoritarianism or the combination in unrelated threads, as well as passive aggressive denigrating the board. This goes for this thread, and all other threads in GD and Elections. I am bookmarking this post and If you do this again, you will be warned.
The quoted post certainly counts and, indeed, inspired a bit of a sidetracking of the thread.

My guess is that the deep state hacks are furious that their clients in Ukraine aren’t getting their military aid.
Warnings serve as a reminder to you of the forum’s rules, which you are expected to understand and follow.
All the best,
Straight Dope Message Board”
Yeah. The comment had nothing to do with “statism” or “authoritarianism”. Neither was it posted in an “unrelated” thread.
I didn’t read the whole thread, but if there was an omission of the matter of military aid to Ukraine in a thread about the Trump Ukraine Affair, then I should have instead been thanked for filling the gap.
If the matter of military aid was addressed upthread, then that blows out of the water the moderator’s claim that my post was posted in an “unrelated” thread.
So, that about puts to rest this nonsensical warning.
So once again, we have a moderator coming down against anti-militarist rhetoric. Sad.
