And it seems [I already _received_ a warning](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12725934&postcount=97).

Or maybe I’m screwed up, and what that was was a warning about a warning?

A Warning, around here, is a Mark In Your Permanent Record, such as the one you got from **Marley** in June for being a jerk. I decided to let you know you were at the line, but not yet completely over it.

If you would prefer that I make it an official warning, as opposed to a word to the wise, I’ll be happy to oblige.
