Anyway... not that it really matters right now, but just so you know, I'm about 6'1" and roughly 220 lbs. If we ever actually ran into each other in real life, it would probably end with you just keeping your head down and walking right past me... though it wouldn't even matter, because I'd never dream of getting into a scrap with some 220-pound crybaby who can't even hold their own...

man, is it just a bunch of overweight people posting here or what...

guess those stereotypes about Americans are actually somewhat accurate...

I don't get why I got a strike for this, especially a red one...
just some guy being targeted because he has "unconventional" opinions, I guess...

So, you called people—forum users—idiots, and then you got a warning for being insulting. What exactly is controversial or weird about that?

-that was a pretty questionable way to phrase it, and I specifically asked why people were saying FAT instead of just being plain about it
I mean, look, I’m carrying quite a bit of extra weight myself—let’s call it 215 pounds if we're being precise—so I know what it feels like to be overweight, since my threshold is around 200...

And honestly, I see plenty of guys on this thread who aren't even close to being fat, like Mr. Grumpy or whatever his handle is

What’s the maximum point threshold before someone gets hit with a ban?
And does it stick for good, or is it just a temporary suspension for a few days?
