: What did I do?
: You try and enforce a few standards and what happens?
: You get kicked in the guts.
: I'm not happy, Arbiter.
That may well be the first time I've kicked someone in the guts ÷ or anywhere ÷ without breaking a toe or dislocating a hip. No doubt this is because I wasn't trying.
My comment was intended as I described it: a "friendly warning".
I used the word "friendly" in an attempt to convey that
1) I was not offended by your message, indeed that
2) I found your message appropriate and amusing
3) I agree with your efforts to enforce standards
I would have thought the "warning" aspect of it should have been clear. Chad Leatherstrap, who lost his sense of humor in a tragic accident involving a bus, a cow, a farmer's stand full of red potatoes and an oil drum, may or may not share my opinion of your post. He has been known to react to certain words and phrases, particularly when he has not had the opportunity to yell at anyone for more than an hour. (I'm not entirely sure what he can do to you, as you are a member of RPSOZ and not the WRPSS. If the answer is "nothing", then I presumed you would disregard the warning.)
I am also sorry to hear that you are not happy, although I cannot see how I am responsible for your feelings. Unless you are unhappy because you have not been sleeping well, in which case I should point out that I am the wrong person to come to for suggestions as long as I am planning this Christmas party.
