    This is not rocket science or even math (see Barbie above).

    We used to look at the larger context and see who all was insulting and violating rules.

    Sometimes that just takes time to decide.

    At 96 he voted for Trump sick and tired of Obamas failed promises.

    Back to warnings: They are just warnings, you're not being penalized. If you question it, you who received the warning or you who see it as unfair, just report the warning and object and explain why, or PM a mod and do that.

    It's just not that big a deal. Right up their with liberals bashing Trump.

    Yeah, it's still not a blue dog. Nobody except you were making this about how to report someone. JAP was talking about other people being banned and pointing out there is a lack of freedom of speech. You turned it into a re-education camp style lecture about thread rules.

    My post above was referring to preferable conduct under the existing rules.
    Now this is totally legit.

    That is because there is no right to freedom of speech on a privately owned forum. The First Amendment applies to government action.

    From my experience, forums that allow unfettered attacks by members on members don't last long.

    Maybe we should meditate on the Golden Rule.

    It's that Pete was a Mod at one time and you appeared to need the easily understood rules explained to you.
