You've made a lot of bad arguments in this thread so far, but this one is by far the worst and the most dangerous.

I'll probably get flagged for this, but I don't care.
You're a toddler who wants to knock all his toys out of the pram because he doesn't want to eat his veggies.
Except in this case, the toys are actively killing people.

Just stfu and eat your damn broccoli.


Bolded parts are done by me.

Oh come on. The toddler bit was way more flamey than the broccoli bit.
At least I'm encouraging healthy eating.

But yeah, that was definitely a personal attack and I'll take the hit for it.

Very big of you. The toddler bit was one of the worst metaphors I've seen here but not actionable. The warning is for "stfu" and nothing else.

I almost want to appeal, because the toddler thing was gold and you know it.

But yeah, fair enough.

Because it's in the same thread and the target is San Lumen, I'm making the report here.

I specify that use of a meme to make the point, makes it a personal attack.
It feels stronger than text "if the world was destroyed, your first concern would be the economy" which I'm guessing would be OK.

Given the report and action above, there's also an element of ganging up which makes it worse. Whatcha think?
