And how exactly did we come to this conclusion?  Please see

It is clearly stated under the 'Rules' section.

It was called an offense because it was.  The warning was posted to a
public forum for two reasons:

1. To indirectly inform other people that such rules exist and are
enforced.
2. So that the warning can be archived in the list archives for future
references.

Nobody is talking about the OT-edness of the post.  We are talking about
the breaking of a rule that is clearly published.
