You're definitely right, both @themarkymark, and @lukestokes are far more experienced than me. Seeing less waring in the future would be fantastic. When something highly discouraging happens here, it lowers the morale of the community affecting motivation, thus quality.

I agree with @lukestokes that flagging someone "because they flagged x person" is ilogical and fanning the flames. I'm grateful to know @themarkymark and others have tried. That shows me that everyone does get chances to change and improve, no matter what the original offense was.
