They may have made it clear to you, me, and others, but apparently not to Warren, based on his statement:

Here's a radical suggestion for anyone who feels they've been unjustly attacked, called a name, or whatever. Just "killfile" the offender - stop corresponding with them. To drop out of all discussions everywhere with everybody is overkill.
