Ethan Brooks59-
You missed the point of my general outburst. I wasn't targeting Jerry Robinson56 or his red card—though that’s clearly what you assumed. I was talking about my own red card, which actually cost me 45 points, not 40, and it all stemmed from a private message I exchanged with another member regarding how a third person was acting (Private Reason: Insulting a user by Bat Kol 45).
So, instead of calling someone an idiot out in public or making a scene right in the middle of the thread, I just sent a private message containing exactly what I would have said openly. It’s the same thing, really—the message still exists, everyone can see it, and people are reacting to it regardless. Apparently, calling someone a moron yesterday earned me a yellow card.
Since you clearly don't grasp how adjective placement works, you're heading straight toward the wrong conclusions.
And why are you suddenly whining to us about all those red cards you've been racking up?
I’m not getting involved in that, nor am I going to comment on it.
If you think this penalty is totally baseless, just take it up through the formal appeal process—it’s right there if you want to make a case for yourself.
You know, Jason Grant, if there’s one type of person that really gets under my skin, it’s the liars and the smear artists like you—the kind who cherry-pick snippets of quotes to use as "proof" just to derail any actual, decent conversation.
It’s funny how you’re the one, Ethan Brooks59, who was actually out there pitching those PDF improvement proposals for the subforum.

Is there any chance the mods could just redact the controversial parts and leave a note saying "content removed for violating community standards" or something like that?So you're trying to hide your insults under the guise of some lengthy, rambling manifesto just so the mods won't hit the delete button because of the word count? Give me a break.😵
It feels like you’ve basically used those insults to describe yourself, honestly. You're just handing out those negative labels to your own reflection.
Even after everything I laid out for you;

If someone thinks they can hide behind a massive, long-winded essay to justify throwing insults or breaking the rules of this forum, they’re mistaken. Just because you put effort into a lengthy intellectual deep dive doesn't give you a free pass to act out, and frankly, there's no point in even arguing about it once that line is crossed.
Of course a post like that deserves to be sanctioned.So you honestly think you can just toss around insults and ignore the rules of this forum whenever you feel like it?
You clearly didn't bother to read the post.
LLskylights The Borg are essentially a tech-driven civilization. They sit at level four, though even within that tier, you've got societies that have pushed much further ahead through means other than just hardware. Since they can't pull off telepathy without relying on their gear, they’re actually pretty primitive for a level four entity. What they describe as level seven is basically reaching the status of God—or at least taking one massive leap toward that divine plane.
Regarding that whole debate about the pyramids. 🤦
Of course I am, and that’s exactly where you're missing the point.
You played this little game of being "interested" in Llskylight's post by bringing up the Borg.
Then, you turned the whole thing into your own personal circus of parodies, throwing around talk of orgies and creating the exact kind of mess you love to blame everyone else for.
On top of that, you're falling straight into a logical fallacy—assuming something has to be false or impossible just because it’s hard for one specific person, specifically you, Ethan Brooks59, to wrap your head around it. It's a classic Argument from Personal Incredulity.
To make matters worse, you're just muddying the waters with a bunch of unproven, disconnected leaps. You jump from making assumptions about people to attacking their character—which really just highlights your own lack of integrity—to nitpicking the moderators, all while tripping over your own flawed logic.
Our actual goal should be raising the quality of the discussion itself.
