Being threatened with a ban goes way too far, but your question(s) as phrased does seem very much like sealioning even if that wasn’t the intention, so I can see why a moderator might think it was. Obviously, they should have clarified first.

You’re right! Can we even trust the science in this paper?

My wife made fun of me for having one of these.

And I told her that I just hadn’t thrown them out yet.

I don’t think anyone will ever need my spare Firewire cables.

There’s also Hugo Boss.

I think this is a Ship of Theseus thing here that we’re going to argue about because at what point is it just UNIX-like and not UNIX?

I just don’t think the people who believed him and used his lines of argument were taken seriously either except by people who were already in their bubble and weren’t going to come out.

I don’t think that ever happened with Colbert, did it?

Very much so. They were never going to get the Pope on board, and without the Pope, they wouldn’t have had much of Europe on their side.
