rewindforward has been acting like a jerk, including but not limited to telling mods where to stuff their warnings.

Is there any chance whatsoever that one can respond to a mod’s warning with insulting profanity and not get banned? I’ve only seen the behavior twice, and each time it kind of gave me a thrill, like the time I saw a drunk guy ride a unicycle off the high board. Some behavior just screams, “I’m too stupid to live.” ---

You know, if people are going to go about getting themselves banned, they could at _least_ choose an appropriate username… I’d rather see: “ **DrivingSlowInTheFastLane** has been banned.” or “ **WorldwideTerrorism** has been banned.” or something. ---

Holy crap! Lynns back, and she brought her ban stick. The banning was predictable but was the guy around long enough to merit a thread here? Anyone want to start a pool on how long till his sock gets banned? Or how many socks he will try before he goes away for good? ---

> [@laina\_f](#): > > Is there any chance whatsoever that one can respond to a mod’s warning with insulting profanity and not get banned? It’s not the insulting profanity, so much as the not-heeding-the-warning. People who don’t heed the warning get banned, regardless of whether their response involved insult. To put it another way: most people who respond with insulting profanity are saying, in effect, that they are not going to heed the warning. So, it’s not the profanity or insult ipso facto, it’s the context. They could say oh-so-politely that they’re going to ignore the warning and we’d likely have the same results. ---

No. Should I be? And **Dex** , my point was exactly that someone who responded that way probably wouldn’t be banned. In other words, profanity isn’t the problem, it’s the behaviour continuing that’s the problem, just like you said before. Although in many cases (including this one), the former is a symptom of the latter.
