Elsewhere I was talking in general terms about the differences between nations and specifically how people treat one another in Germany and America, it was light hearted and went on for about 100 posts, then someone made a racist comment which I reported. The offending post was removed but I received a warning for starting a thread which might lead to someone making a racist post.
Personally, I like rules and balanced moderation, you know where you are and if you take the Michael then you pay the price.
