:::Not at all. I just noticed that you warned him with a COI template. It would probably be a good idea to remove that and replace it with a welcome template (always a good idea with a good-faith addition) along with the appropriate notice (NPOV or OR would suffice). I don't want to speak for Bongomatic, but I believe his message to stop welcoming people was meant for doing nothing but welcoming people. When you are giving a warning or something, I'm pretty certain he wouldn't object to the welcome, but if you do that and something is said, blame me )  /
