It’s good to say “this post contains inflammatory language, mods are discussing it, consider not responding.” Kind of juvenile to say “don’t let this post make you do bad things!” Adults take responsibility for their actions, saying “I was egged on” is a child’s excuse. Does this mean you are okay with the purpose of the note, just not the way it was phrased? As much as I’d like to think adults take responsibility for their actions, real life tells me a few do but most don’t. On the board all you have to do is read ATMB occasionally and you will see how many posters flip out about getting a mod note/warning and that the mods are out to get them blah blah blah.
