@AnarRzayev You seem to have a rather one-sided conversation here. Not sure it's more than a rant; I certainly don't see anything in D.W.'s behaviour that would justify your reaction.
If you have an issue with site policy, please take it to Computer Science Meta.
If you have an issue with D.W.'s moderation, please contact the community moderators.
Under no circumstances is it appropriate to start shouting and calling people names, as per our code of conduct. This is your last warning; further blatant violations of the code -- and common decency, really -- will be reason enough for me to suspend your account without further warning.
