> [@Gyrate](#): > > But “ignored mod instructions” and “insulted posters” (in the wrong forum) - those’ll get you modded no matter who you are, Agreed. But the point is, W\_E included both “ignored mod instructions” and “insulted posters” in his warning. Then Hari came along and issued a warning for “insulted posters” which had _already_ been warned. Also, note, the original mod instruction said: > [@Delay in prosecution of Trump](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/delay-in-prosecution-of-trump/950708/100): > > To others in this thread, please stop responding to this thread hijack. Thanks. This instruction was disregarded by @GreysonCarlisle, @Bobot, @Temporary_Name, @Procrustus, @Ann_Hedonia, @Sam_Stone, @Johnny_L.A. and @iiandyiiii, all of them continued responding to the hijack, and none of them received a warning. Clearly, “ignored mod instructions” is insufficient to merit a warning on its own in this case. I think you are being unduly harsh on him because he is clinging to a belief that you do not share. We should be trying to fight his ignorance, not punishing it. I’d be interested in discussing the matter with him. I’d like to understand why he believes what he believes. That’s not likely to happen if you drive him away, is it? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/two-warnings-one-offence/951229)._
