This is getting worrying. Russ expressed sympathy about the bad
effects that warnings could have on people, and you've somehow
misinterpreted that as a direct attack on you.

Either you're playing this up willfully, or you have a genuine problem
understanding that *not* all such discussions are attacks targeting
you. Right now I can't tell which is more likely.

Please *stop* and think about what you're saying and doing here.
