Not really caring about having this discussion because, again, you're just repeating stuff you've written before. So I'm just addressing the second to last paragraph:
I warned you once like 3 1/2 years ago, but I've never banned you. I warned MP once and gave him a 2 day ban once, for very specifically breaking the rules I had specifically stated were now in place. (Remember, I said 'you're all pardoned' - meaning everyone started at scratch, after that.) The first time he did it I warned him, the second time, he got a two day ban. BJ was guilty of a similar infraction once. I warned him. Serm hasn't been banned once since he got a two day ban back in 2017. He's been warned a few times since, but not even once since 2019. As far as I'm concerned, he was the poster who was by far the guiltiest in terms of shitting up the covid thread - but guess what, he hasn't been posting like that since I specified the new enforcement of rules, so he hasn't been actioned. If there's one thing I specifically regret in terms of how I've moderated the thread, it's actually not slapping Serm with a warning (and then bans) during the early stage of one of his 'you're an anti-vaxxer' rants targeted towards BJ, because I think those were clearly unacceptable, and a large part of what soured the relations.

Yes you warned him after I asked in this thread and it was appreciated. I waited until someone else was actioned to post here. If you continue to be even handed I will not have an issue and I doubt others will either. I said thank you after and assumed it was done. And was not planning to post any more here. TBH I do not even care if you warn or just privately coach as long as that is how you approach it for everyone.
Since Ive been responding to BJ who claims complete innocence and to have not responded to me in a year. Which of couse is clearly not true. Im certain that the many other posters who have been frustrated with him would have similar experiences to share. Many either understandably do not want the drama, or do not want a mod to dislike them, or like you and do not think it is worth the trouble.
I put out what Im doing and why because Id rather him just stop being a jerk and we can all have regular coversations. He can just post well and no one will be able to complain about him including me.
You can choose to disagree, agree or ignore. That is up to you.
I agree that if things are stamped out early it is better, hence my first post here. What I disagree with is on who threw the first punch and how often they throw it.
