Haha.
Don't try to be cheeky.

If one is not asking a question, answering a question, or providing a starter for constructive and on topic conversation, it is entirely reasonable to request someone to dial it back a little.


====

To users in general, especially people that have been active for more than six months, before posting in a flagship thread please consider whether a given post that you write is actually adding anything useful.

It is not against the forum rules to post random thoughts and comments that have tangential, questionable relevance to a thread topic of low effort with little capacity for teaching anything to other users -- but please appreciate that the forum only shows ten posts per page, so a brief off topic post can quite easily derail an entire page of a thread.
This is mostly for the flagship military subforum threads.
If you suspect your post may be only tangentially relevant to a thread, may result in a risk of causing an off topic discussion, and also be low effort in nature, consider asking whether it's actually worth it to hit the "post reply" button.
No one was being cheeky!

You, obviously, tho’ obsessed with military matters, have no understanding of military culture! My response was an acknowledgment of a demand from a senior member, ranked as a Lt. Gen.

Social skills, dude!!! Those don’t come from books, formulae, or computers! Get off of this virtual world, sometimes, and deal with real interactions.

This is a warning.
Do not reply to moderator posts in bolded in red or blue.

This is a forum. Not a bar, clubhouse or a subreddit.
If a fellow member politely asks you to avoid going off topic, then either follow etiquette and acknowledge you were being off topic and that you'd refrain from it -- or if you don't believe you were off topic then you could seek to challenge the other person.

Either way, a "friendly" acknowledgement that could be interpreted as either genuine or as sarcastic, is not necessary and actively unhelpful.

People are not stupid, and can recognize sarcasm and excessive deference.

Abuse your authority, if you please, but you WILL NOT impose your INCORRECT interpretation of my response onto my communication!

Ban me, permanently, if you choose; I have a life and other interests than SDF, and I’m not challenged by Autism!

You pride yourself on you “excessive” correctness; however you incorrectly interpret sarcasm when you ‘should‘ have interpreted sardonicism.

I was one of those that encouraged you to become a moderator. I now see that your ’seriousness’ is more of a crutch and crudgel than an asset. Good luck in real life, dude!

Sigh, this could have simply been avoided if you chose to not be sarcastic -- or as you say, "sardonic" -- in response to by78's fair and reasonable request.

Or, it could have been avoided if you had chosen to not reply to my last few posts bolded in moderator red.

But now that you've made multiple posts quoting a moderator in red despite having received a warning, and while also explicitly seeking to defend your reply in question that was unnecessarily sardonic and asked by myself to take it easy, you have basically just forced yourself to receive a warning ban.

Due to previous offenses and warnings-- One year ban sentence, permanent ban on next infringement.

If your interpretation of your post was so important to you, you are free to choose that hill to defend.

On the same day as the IPO ceremony, the first civilian WingLoong-2 UAV rolled off the assembly line:

AVIC is already on the entity list right? And

, any reason why these civilian WingLoong-2 shouldn't be sold to Russia?

WL-2 is massive, it makes the TB-2 look tiny. If TB-2s are getting shot down left right and centre I don't think WL-2 has a chance.

AVIC is also state owned so it wouldn't look good to be seen supplying such a potent platform to Russia in the middle of the war.

The smaller civilian drones are more anonymous and probably would be more useful against a peer adversary.
