You've been a valued and constructive member of this community for years, but since the post you made regarding NATO and the warning you received about that for bringing politics into that discussion, it seems that you've been carrying a grudge. There have been a series of posts since then where you keep trying to send threads off-topic or bring politics into them. We all have political viewpoints and I certainly appreciate that yours may differ from mine and that you are entitled to your own opinions.

However, we've always tried to keep this forum away from politics.

When a subject comes up that's political for you, whether with regards to NATO and Sweden/Finland or with regard to Queen Elizabeth, realize that it may not be inherently political for all or to the same degree. We try to draw a pretty large border around political topics, but we also know that our forum is populated by adults who should be able to give some benefit of the doubt to their fellow posters in the interest of discussing topics that could be political, but don't have to be.

A memorial thread such as this is a good example of that. I realize that Queen Elizabeth was a head of state and thus a political figure. However, she was also a public figure worldwide and this thread was intended as a place for those who simply wanted to express their condolences or wishes that she rest in peace. It has no agenda beyond that. It doesn't have to be political, unless you make it so.

In any case, given your recent posts (most now deleted by you), I've asked Edmon to give you a one week ban to think things over. As you've already been warned a couple of times, this is the next step in terms of our forum moderation rules.

We don't want you to leave the forum for good, we'd just like you to reconsider what's bothering you and the rules of the forum. You've been a welcome member here for many years and that can also be the case for years to come. I've posted this publicly to make sure there's no misunderstanding here and that you can see this even while temporarily banned.

Regards,

- Erik

That's an endorsement I'm good with.
