I'm going to assume this is also sarcasm, which would be quite ironic if so, based on the ban threat, even if sarcastic.

If it's not sarcastic, the fact the thought would occur period, to ban someone over sarcasm, is not a good sign to begin with. It would be somewhat understandable if a member was harshly being made fun of, or flat out being hated on, using sarcasm, then the thought of potentially warning someone due to that sarcastic manner wouldn't seem entirely out of the question.

Translation: Because you butchered the sarcasm, maybe if we ban it, it'll spare us from having to witness any more of this.
(Such as through a system that prevents posts from being posted if it detects sarcasm in it.)

Sarcasm doesn't work if what you're saying doesn't make sense. And I'll go over whay that's the case in the US Politics thread since I see you're doubling down on it there.

Just wanted to point out that obvious joke was obvious. And there was no ban threat aimed at anyone.

If there was no ban threat, or warning, can I assume this part of the post a joke as well?

I'm having trouble making sense of whether you're kinda warning or joking. It's not clear. Since you're a mod, being crystal clear about something like this would seem to be of upmost importance towards members, at least from my point of view.

My post was a general point about the unfortunate situation the former Japanese PM found themselves in and the weapon used. Not some gotcha moment towards another specific member. I don't see how anyone would think that to be the case.

I was referring to you think this was a gotcha towards gun control laws. Not a specific member.
And the post of yours I replied to said nothing about 'the unfortunate situation the former Japanese PM found themselves in'.
Except maybe just the term RIP.

Depends on what you mean by gotcha. Making a point and being correct could always be seen as a gotcha.

To me it's always been a snarky thing when dealing with someone say unreasonable or irritable. That obviously wasn't the case as you say, since I wasn't dealing with anyone and was just making a general point.

If someone else can clearly prove themselves right, or more correct than what I think, I don't accuse them of gotcha, I just admit they've got a point and then mold or change my view to include whatever they've enlightened me about.

*Edit - Added below.

My post most certainly implied the assassination of Abe was unfortunate. Unless anyone themselves thinks it was a good thing?
