2. Can you tell us what you did?
Without getting another warning in the process? ;)

5. Told someone they wouldn't understand with a sliderule.
Shit...I don't know how to use a sliderule. How is this a bad thing to say?

19. Thou art more holy than I.
There was a bit of a learning curve for me. It wasn't that I was trying to be disruptive, but there were certain words I thought were okay and in the I/P room it's very easy to make snarky comments.

I guess if the warning policy was in place when I discovered DU, I would probably have 7 - 10 warnings today.

4. They hand them out daily, I wouldn't cache too much hubris
The easiest way to get one is to take offense with a post that deals with something you care a lot about.

7. I got a warning for making an anti-3rd party statement
I was under the mistaken impression that the name of the forum implied that support for the Democratic party was encouraged.

11. Positive support or negative support?
It is not generally civil to say "We're cool, support us" by urinating on people who could become your ally because their philosophy is otherwise similar to your own...

Of course, if their philosophy is radically different, such as a certain political party whose logo is an animal that requires a big shovel to go behind it... that's another story. :D

18. The person said they were going to support a 3rd party in November
because he would not compromise on how he felt about Kerry.

I told him that there were more important things involved than his feelings.

The moderation around here is getting more heavy handed all the time.

16. It happens.
Always be willing to stand by what you say. Too many of our leaders aren't.
