Your behaviour is ludicrous, you ignoring the rules is ludicrously stupid, me referring to you being banned is fun. As you breaking my local rule is a FACT, breaking rules can lead to a ban - FACT, so if its not a perma ban, will you continue to break the rules? I notice you have stopped posting in my thread - are you now worried about the possibility of a ban?
It's true, those are the facts. Meta isn't exempt from having local rules, and that was confirmed by SaltySpitoon. Therefore regardless of whether c-scunter thinks that's fair or not, those are the rules--which he keeps breaking. TMAN, if I were you I would have somehow crowbarred that thread into the Reputation section where you can self-moderate it. It wouldn't be that much of a stretch to have a discussion about yourself and the Russians there, and you could keep the trolls out.
