Discussions in ATMB are expected to be polite and civil. This isn’t the Pit, or anything close to it. Posting something that by your own admission is mocking only serves to be inflammatory, and that does nothing towards resolving any issues that are being discussed.

Don’t make intentionally inflammatory posts in ATMB.

No warning issued.
