I assume you’re talking about [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=604116), where after you said

I told you the following:

> Enough. Your posts on this topic are getting insulting and out of line for this forum. Stick to the argument without commenting on the intelligence and reading ability of other posters.

I did tell you to stop making comments about someone else’s reading comprehension. I was also telling you you were being insulting in general.

You seem to have missed the fact that I also warned **Diogenes the Cynic**. I didn’t single out the reading thing because it was, at most, borderline. The “liar” comment was unambiguously against the rules. Both of you were out of line for the last page or so before the warnings. I tried to make that clear in my actual warning: “If you can’t converse in a reasonable way, then ignore each other or just post in the Pit. Nobody wants their threads hijacked by read page after page of this nonsense.”
