Seattle:
Thanks for the character analysis, Seattle.
If you knew me better, and read a bit more closely, you'd realise quite a few things I post - especially when it is only one or two lines in a reply - have a humorous ironic slant to them. Most people - especially Americans, in my experience - tend to miss that and read everything as if it is all serious business, so it doesn't greatly surprise me that you've got the wrong end of the stick.
As Tiassa noted in that thread, that was a very easy call to make, as a moderator. Somebody - not paddoboy, not Tiassa, not me - reported your post. It was both a personal attack on paddoboy (and thus a breach of our posting guidelines), and it also tried to "joke" about child abuse by priests, while at the same time implying that those priests wouldn't prey on boys perceived as homosexual. But you already know that. Also, when I gave you the warning, I explained the reason for the warning to you. Yet here you are, whinging in two different places about it.
You did the wrong thing and somebody called you out on it. Suck it up.
I am more aware of what goes on here than you are. As a moderator, I am obliged to examine reported posts and to apply our site policies in a fair way, while trying to avoid letting my own feelings get in the way, as much as possible.
You will be aware that, in paddboy's thread, I was on the same "side" of the argument as you. Indeed, I was one of the people most consistently taking paddoboy to task for his sexist views.
If you want to think that I warned you because I don't like you, or because I don't get your attempt at humour, or whatever, then go right ahead. You certainly won't the first to make that mistake.
