**Warning** for **ZosterSandstorm** , you like to make debates personal. That is not allowed. While this one might seem minor, you do this far too often. Please stop it. Everytime you make a post in GD or P&E personal going forward will result in a warning and then a suspension if you persist.

This is an official warning to not violate this basic rule of P&E and GD.

> In CRT, Asians aren’t fully formed people with their own motives, goals, and values, they are just semi-robotic “wedges” used in the eternal race war between whites and blacks. When Asians do well it’s because they are “white-adjacent,” “white-acting,” imported by whites to harm blacks, or propped up to serve as a “model minority” which is bad because it implies that blacks might have agency over their own lives. Any Asian success is part of some larger scheme by the white cabal to harm black p…

**Warning** and thread ban for [ZosterSandstorm](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/ZosterSandstorm). You are rehashing and old and tired pet issue in a thread not for it. I am officially warning you to change your behavior in CRT threads going forward and to stay out of this thread from this point forward.

On the other hand, it’s undoubtedly true that some aspects of CRT (as actually practiced in the real world by its devotees and not disingenuously defended in fantasy-land) absolutely do violate existing anti-discrimination statutes…

Finally today’s:  
**Warning** for **ZosterSandstorm**.  
This is still talking about and hijacking the thread with CRT. You were specifically noted to stop. I’m going to discuss a topic ban on this subject with the other mods.

As of right now, you are banned from this thread. Hopefully you understand this instruction.

> Why, it’s almost as if a normal moderate-Dem campaign that focused on normal moderate-Dem social issues in combination with the continued commitment to a normal moderate-Dem economic policy could have won in Virginia, like it did the last 13 times, and the decision to instead focus the entire race on an extreme, deeply unpopular education policy was a baffling own-goal. Imagine if someone had been saying that.
