See, that's the thing -- you're being presumptuous on what "exactly I was doing." (Many do that when it comes to my posts, in general). For example, look at my last post in the Venus thread. It was a complimentary post, and some monsters were
still being presumptuous, thinking it was "shady" in some way. Not every single post I make is shady. o___o
Regarding commenting on the monsters: it would have been unnecessary IF the monsters weren't the one's misunderstanding Miley Cyrus. I'm not making this stuff up, kids -- it's right there in the thread.
Lastly, I'm not twisting your words. I just simplified the concept, and by doing so, it highlights the ridiculousness of said concept. These are your words:

I was warned for abrasive. You claim bolded words affect tone. You go on to say that tone "has an affect on what is or is not perceived as abrasive." Again, I was warned for abrasive. Thus, I was warned for bolding the word "every" twice. Veronica Mars, I am not -- but it's a pretty straightforward deduction, Retro.
Here's some advice for members who like to constantly report and to the moderators, in general: separate the
user from the
user's comments -- look at them as two separate entities and then make the decision on whether the post is reportable or warnable. You have a better chance at being less bias on both counts. It's simple advice that tends to be forgotten very easily.
