> [@Ravenman](#): > > But folks should notice that my post was agreeing with his prior post, in which he was incredulous that the Government would use extra-judicial means to silence a former President. I agreed with that… Yes, I would have been better to quote Flyer’s prior post, before your comment and before Will said anything: > [@Hypothetically, what if an ex-President loses it and starts spilling state secrets?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hypothetically-what-if-an-ex-president-loses-it-and-starts-spilling-state-secrets/841989/4): > > …Congress has the option of getting involved. They could appropriate money to build a nice, secure, one-occupant nursing home. Whether they would depends on the situation. So the issue of extra-judicial silencing was introduced by somebody else, and it’s in GD, not GQ. Seems like a pretty subjective call to me to say definitively that Will’s post was irrelevant and ding him straight out with a warning. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poster-warned-then-suspended-for-debating-in-great-debates/842092)._
