    I responded to this post

    I copied the quote from Joe, slightly edited it, and wrote, "Fixed 😋".

    "I remember Gerry Ryan telling me at the time that the main thing was not to leave the RTÉ campus and tell management that you'll do whatever. So, I stuck in there."

    This is my post.

    "I remember Gerry Ryan telling me at the time that the main thing was not to leave the RTÉ canteen and tell management that you'll eat whatever. So, I got stuck in there."

    Fixed. 😋

    I received a warning from squonk saying,

    "Fat shaming of the host isn’t allowed."

    I didn't fat shame the host. It's easier to show the messages between myself and squonk.

    I showed that I didn't fat shame the host. Instead of admitting they got it wrong, they instead tried to make it stick because I changed Joe's quote. It was a lighthearted bit of humour. It was obvious to anyone reading the post that it was a joke. The original quote was in the same post.

    Hello. I'm not seeing a basis for the warning as issued since I'd expect people would laugh at the post (re yourself and the canteen, I assume) or scroll on by. I've restored your original post. Warning reversed.
