Could someone please address these? I understand that they're long, and I apologise for writing so much, but I took this back to the thread where I got warned (asking people why I got warned) because it didn't get addressed here, and then I got another message from ATRL-o-matic telling me to bring it back to HQ, even though when I did it was ignored.

How is saying "Let me not. I don't need the points." warnable for being off-topic? It's not off-topic. It's on-topic. It's simply the declaration that I'm withholding my thoughts on the issue. I've seen it hundreds of times on ATRL. Why am I getting warning points for it when others aren't? How is that fair?
Is that really the sort of behaviour that's so horrible that you kick people out for it? Furthermore, what happens if people underneath my comment go ahead and say what I was thinking anyway?
The comment in question is this:

And the subsequent comments are everyone saying that she looks like a man, which I didn't want to say because I thought that might be perceived as being transphobic, which I'm not. |

I get really angry when I get warning points and I apologise to the mods who read my complaints in HQ as my tone (towards you guys and the rules) often seems really vitriolic. I don't mean to come across as rude or hostile, even though I do. I'm learning the ropes of ATRL and I'm getting better at monitoring my own behaviour to avoid getting points. But it's just I hardly see how a comment like the one above is worthy of warning someone, or contributing to kicking them out from the community when it's a great online forum to socialise on. This is why I have what I have written in my signature.
Like I just want to know why I got warned for saying "I don't need the points" when others don't get reported for making that exact same comment all the time. This EXACT same comment is literally written on ATRL every single day. It wasn't even the most off-topic comment in that thread. I'd apply to have it revoked, but I know that it wouldn't and I don't want to waste your time. But I just want to know why a comment gets a warning point when other people make the exact same comment all the time and it's fine.
Again, sorry if my tone seems hostile. I don't mean for it to be. I'm just confused and I hardly see how it's fair.

I don't see it as the old system but maybe it's because I'm on mobile
I hate you.
