Okay, do you want me to be not so polite? Your calling sartreuse a turd-muncher is a personal attack, and if it weren't for the fact that I am sure you were being facetious, I would have taken action.
Well, I think the most polite thing to do in this instance is to insult chever.
But in all seriousness, I could honestly say that by refusing to phrase your position in a systematic manner, you could come off as rather crude. After all, as greenblue notes, the line between excrement and non-excrement could also be taken as blurry. Not only that, but your statement on the meaning of "freedom of speech" could be taken as a callous dismissal of the philosophical positions of a few members, which seems rude.As for calling sartresue a turd-muncher, I could also argue that it is technically accurate. If sartresue has ever eaten a "Little Debbie's" snack, she has likely eaten a bunch of bug turd, and most people have had one of those. And if not that, then likely something else. Turd, in some form or variety, is rather easy to consume by accident.

This is a warning to you all. You have, at best, limited time. As you have not taken my words seriously, I will warn you this much: come December, I will personally clean house in this forum. You have until then to clean your act up.
Why are you so concerned about taking action in this forum? I am just curious, as you seem to place such emphasis in cleaning house.
Adding insult to the wound topic
I had no idea I was being flamed. First time. Remember, I have CAPD, and this often extends to written stuff. But I appreciate being defended. Feels kind of nice.
I remember Pierre Elliot Trudeau used to say to his opponents to "Mange le merd!"
At least half of them did not understand what he said.

Well. 'Bout time a moderator decided to wade into the blood bath that is PPR. I'll give you alot of credit for that.
This (for one example) looks more than a little like a power trip however...

...and makes me wonder about your objectivity. You certainly seem to be trying to lay down the law here in a pretty dictatorial manner that looks anything but impartial. I have seen repeated inferences of If-you-question-my-authority-I-will-make-you-pay. I'm gonna get in the Question-The-OP's-Motive-Line here.
I would get out of this bear cage of a thread where this lot is only going to continue their "nyaaa nyaaa's" and stick poking, start watching quietly, and put your money where your mouth is and start warning and booting in Dec. We have been duly warned. Yes, that was nice of you, but looking for some sort of validation of your authority isn't going to get you anywhere but p***** off.
I'll admit I'm not the best at keeping my head down, I cuss alot, I indulge in personal attacks (especially if they bite first,) but I (probably) won't laugh at you. I don't have quite the deal with authority figures as most.
These (us?) yahoos aren't going settle down because of a warning thread, and your certainly not going to get any respect by continuing this line of argument here.
Please note: I am fully aware that I will probably be one of the first to go.
Since I am *gasp* attempting to give advice and constructive criticism to a moderator, in *gasp again* public. 
Good luck, and may God be with you. (That last bit only half in jest.) See you in Dec.

Hey, stop poking the moderator. 
If you guys all get banned, this forum will not be any fun to read anymore.

It will stop.
You are trying to get them to duck their heads and obey. These people don't do that. Your point is made, by continuing to try to fight they are sucking you right into their way of thinking.
My advice:
a) Stop responding.- it won't do any good. They will not do anything but mock your every attempt at mandating respect
b) (My pick) Ask another moderator to take this task over(as your objectivity has been repeatedly questioned). Don't ask them to post, warnings have been delivered. They just need to watch and make an objective decision.
My opinion: (worth almost what you paid for it
) You have become un-objective. You are angry with these people and it shows. It is the responsibility of those in authority to recognize when they cease to be right for the job.
