If you're going to quote me, I think you should quote the entire post, since by taking one part of a sentence out of context you've completely misrepresented the actual point of the sentence, as well as the entirety of the post you are quoting. Here is the full post, emphasis added:

I am pretty tolerant of people making the usual statements about liberals/conservatives/Republicans/Democrats. I don't want to mod someone saying Republicans are racists, or liberals are scum, or the usual stuff. It's also fair to say that very recently, because of the discussion about personal attacks, we've been more lenient while that debate is happening. But please avoid using language that is suggestive of actual violence ("annihilation", "destruction", "six feet under"). There's room to be insulting but there's a limit. Suggests of violence are unacceptable and I'm sure they will remain unacceptable regardless of future changes to the rules.
The word unacceptable is repeated in many of the other posts I linked for you above.

I didn't claim to have missed that one specifically. I claimed to have skimmed over "a few of those". That few being the last 3. I didn't make too much of the first one in isolation at the time. That was a mistake that I won't repeat, as I also tried to clarify in the links I provided above.

Wishing posters get killed or were dead is peachy keen it seems.
I didn't delete any of the posts. Nor did I claim to have deleted any of the posts. I issued warnings to the posters, and told people not to post like that any more. You're correct that I also warned other posters not to bring up family members. And some other posters besides that not to wish other people dead in creative ways. All of these things happened.
I can see how maybe some of that could have been a bit clearer (re: "moral: don't bury the lede"), especially because there were 3 different types of posts I was telling people to stop making at approximately the same time. But, everyone else seemed to understand it, whereas you appear to have not even bothered to read to the bottom of the post you're quoting back at me, even after I pointed out to you that you were misreading it. Wil and Sushy came into the thread to argue with me that Wil's posts should be allowed. If they understood me to be saying that they were already allowed, that wouldn't make a lot of sense.
I'm sorry for the confusion, and let me be clear that in the future the penalty for that kind of posting will be more severe (there will be no more warnings), but I would appreciate it if you would take the time to actually read and understand what I've said.
