I have no idea why you’re labeling me a "flat-earther," an implication you seem to be making by showing up here—though I suppose I should thank you for the attention, truly.
It is common knowledge that I have always appreciated curves, whether we are talking about geometry or a glazed donut.

You certainly have the right to act however you see fit, exercising your dominance through your moderator status.
He is not my enemy; I don't judge based on mere style. Frankly, I couldn't care less. Everyone is entitled to their opinion; problems only arise when someone starts making definitive claims.
You can see people are enjoying themselves reading this thread... and perhaps they might even learn something...
everything is interconnected with other situations in life.To be clear, I don't view you as inferior or irresponsible, because you simply act according to your nature. You know very well how many direct, vulgar insults I've endured without you ever reacting. Yet, you were busy handing me warnings just for providing a transparent answer. That said, one can observe some progress in you.
Insults don't bother me, and I suspect they don't bother you either, given your intelligence, though perhaps you aren't quite fully developed yet... don't take that the wrong way, everything comes with time.
On the other hand, you’ll find you have much less work ahead of you (just let the "fools" entertain themselves—and yes, I am including myself in that group)...
for instance
a ridiculous barber from a small town in Ohio pops up on this thread and writes that I should send him a photo so he can show his kid what an idiot looks like,
and you immediately issue a warning for my response, which was essentially:
Isn't yours enough?
Or consider this "Hawker" fellow... he’s intelligent, sure, but... he knows absolutely nothing about the subject matter. What kind of life does one lead to find it necessary to come here and blow hot air all over the topic?
Regardless... just look at cause and effect. That is how things work in my profession; at least that's how I operated. One shouldn't punish the aggressor and the victim equally...
like a waitress slapping a guy because he grabbed her backside... what's the verdict there?
Both get punished...
is that not a glaringly obvious example?
A better conclusion would have been noting the risk of escalating violence... he could have actually hit her... you have no idea how these young punks wail when they finally face the consequences of justice (mind you, I'm not talking about "justice" or "the law").
You see, you won't get very far by just turning the other cheek...
Even if this is a "private" space, it is evident that you haven't upheld the forum rules. For some matters, you have discretionary power, but for others, you don't, especially since you've penalized your own members—the mods—while occasionally being surprisingly magnanimous.
In short, I am not calling for sanctions against others, nor will I protest my own warning, but do take a look at what you are deleting...
And the deletions don't phase me; I don't want anyone thinking this is a vendetta against me... I stopped caring about such things long ago.
I'm heading out again in a few days for a month or two, and the only reason I'm posting this is
so that someone intriguing—rather than someone repulsive—continues this thread, which has the potential to be a profound life lesson.
In any case, I wish you a pleasant day.
PS: I have a great deal of respect for my interlocutors; anyone with even a modicum of technical education can read between the lines of my words....
smart people never have an issue with me. 😉
PPS: Those "others"... they are the ones who truly struggle with themselves... it is quite apparent in this thread.
