You've broken the site guidelines more than once by posting uncivilly. We ban accounts that do that, so please don't do that.

Too bad that the whole point of why people do this passive-aggressive pretend-stupid gambit (".. just trying to understand .." is one, and ".. genuinely curious .." is another), is that it's almost impossible to call people out on, without sounding at least slightly uncivil.


That's a good point, but the solution is worth trying harder for.


Oh jeez Dang, we've had this conversation before. Overzealous moderation kills websites. Funny how it's only you I ever see wandering into these situations.

Take my posting history into account and make a decision. If you wanna ban me, do it and I'll go find somewhere else that enjoys robust discussion. I've certainly delivered that here, if you'd care to go take a look.

However, please stop helicoptering in and tutting your finger at me. I've never seen you make meaningful contributory posts, so I don't respect you.


Your post got user flags. It's not just dang asking you to stop.

You don't need to include "You obviously can't read." nor "for the hard-of-comprehending among us" in your post.
