Can someone lower my warn level?

My point was that those assholes in the Pentagon can't mess with other countries and expect no backlash. That's it.

Jeeze, you're still an ignorant ###k.
Will someone ban this feces throwing monkey?!?!? Don't you understand those "assholes" in the Pentagon are ASSIGNED there. Like I'm ASSIGNED here at Scott. You my friend are a complete idiot.

Bump up my warning levels if the mods need to, but some things need to be said.

HALT!

Stop, right there. I do not moderate this forum, so have no power here. TosaInu alone has that, and his hands are very full right now.

However, until Tosa can step in here: the next flame will get that poster's account suspended.

Well i can't edit my posts because they don't allow me. I would've probably edited that out right after i posted it. It was a moment thing. Also it was a subject I was very passionate about. I do apologize for not making myself more obvious and understandable.

This is not a flame, but I wonder if the mods should rethink the sanction of people not being able to edit their posts? Isn't it a bit like punishing speeding drivers by taking away their car's brake pedal?

I agree, but of course even if you make quick use of the edit button (as I often do) there is always the danger that your post will be read anyway before you manage to edit it quickly enough.

As has already been said it is good to re-read it before posting, but mistakes can and do slip by when doing that, in which case the edit function is useful.

Good call Simon Appleton,

It's true what you say, but there's also another side to this. At least mods can see who's speeding. Different people, different opinions and that's going to clash at times.
Unfortunate, but happens. Kiss up or ignore and keep moving.

It's happened, that people posted controversial bits (again and again), people responded and the initiator edited his post. So, we have a flame, often going on and on, who started? The guy who responds looks like a intolerant idiot. Trolling it is called I believe.

The purpose of removing the edit is also to force people to think before hitting submit, you don't have 2 warnings for nothing.

About what's going on here: very bad word choice, no doubt. I can see some don't like the message (even if it was worded properly), there is a statement though. Discuss it, ignore it, but don't spiral down with more bad language.

Enough about this, topic closed.
