"so irrelevant" sounds condescending to me too

either way, i support pointing out if something sounds rude/condescending/aggressive
(theres nothing bad in pointing that out, first step is always being aware
 one said something that others find offensive)

This part i do not agree with.
First, i dont think we actually had a majority for a warning, I see 4 of 5
members of the CC replying but only 2 talking about a warning.

Also (as i said previously) Politely pointing out to people when they write
offensive things is a good thing, it has been effective in channeling
discussions into a positive and friendlier direction,
especially when done in real time. (You did the previously several times
successfully)

Adding a "threat" in the form of a warning maybe works for some people in
some cases. But in others its more like slapping an already angry guy in the face.
You get slapped harder back then have to punch and get punched back and then
things spiral downward. And whetaver the exact outcome its a bad outcome

thx
