One last time, and quoting actual moderation (in part) from the thread:

> [@Leave the birthrate alone](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/leave-the-birthrate-alone/1029286/41):
>
> Moderating: Once again you jumped off-topic, replying to someone else edging off-topic is not an excuse to go off-topic. I’ll hide your post. We might change this to a Warning later.

For emphasis : “ **replying to someone else edging off-topic is not an excuse to go off-topic.** ”

> @What_Exit had noted the thread only three hours prior about staying on topic, and while the post you were responding too was headed off topic, you chose to continue and _greatly_ amplify it.
