OK. Since there seems to be a deep desire to have me issue Warnings around, let’s look over the potential Warnings for either direct insults or accusations of lying. Given that, while not cast in concrete as a rule, the issuance of three Warnings in a short period is generally a flag indicating that the staff will review a poster’s privileges to post, is everyone still on board with my going ahead and issuing the Warnings and does anyone still want to make believe that there were no rules violations prioor to my closing the thread?

There might be a little quibbling over the “STFU” comments, but I have consistently held that “Fuck you,” “Go to Hell,” and similar expressions are treated as a direct insult in **GD**.
