Quote - you're avoiding the issue by saying, "check if you're unsure."
Not to mention just a tiny bit of hypocrisy. About a month ago, I was banned for a couple of weeks because I "checked if unsure" on a post. Why? My uncertainty was considered insincere. I even asked whether I had been banned for checking when I shouldn't have or not checking when I should have. The answer? Tight-lipped silence. After all, asking was insincere too, because I knew what I was banned for: I was banned for being bad. Everybody knows what "bad" is!
I spent the two weeks tightening my cilice and mortifying the flesh. Not that I need to mortify it any more than the years have done for me. I also wailed and gnashed my teeth. Very unpleasant business.
And now the moment of truth: Do I check for violence, having mentioned my cilice? Oh what the heck; I'll try not.
