> **1)** Why was I warned when I didn’t violate the “[debate](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=14095407&postcount=53)” rule?  
> **2)** Why were others not warning who continued to [“debate”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=618729) in a very similar manner after the initial four warnings?

The answer to (1) is that you were warned for failure to heed moderator instructions.

The answer to (2) is that life is unfair. It’s probably the same reason that I got a speeding ticket when others who had been passing me, didn’t.

The answer to your unasked question: It’s only a warning. It’s not a whipping, or a fine, or being put in the public stocks. It’s the moderator saying, “Stop it!” in a voice intended to attract attention (as opposed to a mere mod note.) It’s a reminder to stop a behavior. In short: it’s NOT a big hairy deal.
