Frankly Andy, due to your use of the {{subst}} method, you have

Frankly, Tantek, that's bullshit.
I have just received an e-mail, from Frances Berriman, subject
"Warning
of inappropriate behaviour on mf-discuss", citing the above
exchange of
26 July, in:
<http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2007-
July/010261.html>
and telling me that:
Such an outburst (sic) requires (sic) a warning that if you
cannot contribute with respect and in an appropriate tone
on the
mailing list, you will receive a cooling off ban.
Perhaps Ms Berriman isn't familiar with British English vernacular
(which would be odd, I understand she lives here), but "Rubbish,
nonsense" is in the Oxford English Dictionary, and means "rubbish,
nonsense". In any case, that was no "outburst"; but a considered
and apt
description of the comment to which I was responding; and I stand
by it.
The microformats admins have decided to ban Andy Mabbet from this
community (both email lists and wiki) for one week, due to continued
failure to adhere to the "be nice" guideline [1] after a private
warning.
