No, **tacoloco** , she was completely in the right, and I was being an ass.☹ **Twicks** and I don’t always agree, but I like and respect her for what she does. As she wrote, she gave me a “soft” warning, but I kept it up, so I deserved what I got. Thanks Q ---

She asked him nicely to quit posting in German, he continued. She issued a warning consistent with board practice. He accepted the warning, and apologized for his conduct. Not seeing the outrage. ---

And Oakminster, “consistent” isn’t something moderators around here are known for. ---

**Quasi** isn’t exempt from the rules of the SDMB. He was posting in German, which is against the rules. I started by reminding him of the rule, then told him directly, not once but twice, to stop. The second time time I told him to stop, I also told him he was in danger of getting a warning. He responded to each of my three posts in German, so, as I’d told him I would, I gave him a warning for failing to obey a moderator’s instructions. He and I are both good with this. ---

Yup, we are. In retrospect, I \* think \*what might have thrown me off the path was my Bier Krieg thread. German _songs_ from YouTube are okay, but _posting_ in German (or any foreign language) isn’t and plus I was being an asshole. I now have a reminder posted on top of my screen **NO POSTING IN GERMAN!**. 😉 All is good. Q ---

And I appreciate it, **tacoloco** , but if I’m willing to “take my lumps”, shouldn’t everybody be okay with that? I was much worse as little as 3 years ago. Seemed I was always spoiling for a fight, and that’s not even mentioning the “meltdowns” from **last** year! 😉 That doesn’t mean I don’t/didn’t love this place, I was being argumentative just _because_! I **still** am sometimes - just not as frequently. **MY** big problem is all of a sudden I’m either in GD (God I HATE that place - sorry!) or The Pit (not as bad- but still I shouldn’t go there). I think where I get myself in trouble is in the NEW POSTS section! 🙂 I see something “interesting” and the next thing I know, I’m where I don’t need to be! IMO, I think we’ve fixed the problem and I’d like to move on. I love this place too much to cause problems and I _was_ a problem Saturday night. Thank you Quasi/Bill ---

I was thinking it was a combination of your health problems, your financial situation, and then to top it all off, severe homesickness at not being able to go home for the holidays.

Holidays can be a very hard time. I think the homesickness just got the better of you. ☹ Could be a combination of all those things, you’re right **Johnny** , but I still should have “listened” to the warnings I got. My family over there calls me almost weekly, and it IS tough listening to them and responding in German. Quasi ---
