You've been infracted before, for using the exact same term in the exact same manner (misinterpreting simple messageboard conversation/posting). Who gave the infraction is irrelevant. You can "see" things however you wish, it's the "calling 'em" portion that needs to be within the rules....unless you care to do so in the Bar Scene.
The fact is that the overwhelming majority of members here fully understand how to post a pic or a gif. Occasionally, all of us "fail" when attempting to do so. I'm not sure why you would take offense in someone pointing that out, but again you can "see" it the way you want to. I'm pretty certain that had he taken the time to give his tutorial to you on posting pics the first time, you would have either A)lashed out at him for talking down to you or B)received a lot more flack from members when you then "failed" a second time.
Bottom line, no matter what your background or perspective, it takes a big person to respond to a personal attack by giving a tutorial. If you want to focus on the warning that was attached to it, well "see 'em" how you wish. The rest of us will recognize the situation for what it is, a staff member helping a member despite a personal attack that could have (given your prior infraction) resulted in an infraction. Count your blessings.

One last attempt and, while most warnings/discussions should occur in private, we'll continue to do this in public so that everyone understands and doesn't make the same mistake. There is a difference between CIVILITY and VULGARITY. You can be snarky and sarcastic, like everybody else, without resorting to vulgarity outside of TBS. If you don't know the difference, I recommend you stop RIGHT NOW while you are still ahead. I can promise you that it won't remain that way for long.
There is absolutely NOTHING that prevents the staff from participating in the snark and sarcasm. I'm not sure where you ever got the idea otherwise. The Terms of Service apply to everyone, including the staff, and nothing I did violates them unlike your initial response (vulgarity). Secondly, there was nothing UNCIVIL about what I posted, but you are quickly getting me to the point where that will change. The terms of service are crystal clear on this matter, and everyone is expected to know them prior to participating in these forums. There is no NEED for me to give you a warning, but you should definitely consider this conversation as one.
Lastly, you "call em like you see em"? You ain't seen nothing yet. You've gotten the "warning" you so strongly desire. There will not be another one. The smartest thing you can do right now would be to drop it and ensure that you refrain from using vulgarity, especially directed at any other member of the board, again.
None of this should be construed as a threat. Your comment was unacceptable and I'm simply clarifying the issue. You can do as I advise above and all will be forgotten and probably never even thought about again. Or you can do otherwise, and simply accept the consequences.

sigh.... No, as has been stated at least three times, the issue is that you used vulgarity. That's the entire issue, cut-n-dry. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less.
I'm sarcastic, you're sarcastic back. THAT IS FINE. Nothing wrong with that. If u think u and ur teenage girl writing style can keep up, go right ahead, nobody cares (see? THAT is snark and sarcasm without vulgarity!).
It's the vulgarity that has got you in a bind. It's your stubborn unwillingness to recognize that little fact that is getting you into an even bigger bind.
