Reading comprehension? What's that?
Post Body

So we have a fairly comprehensive set of rules. One specifically mentions (in part):

**This includes posts and comments about mixing drugs with alcohol!**

So a user comments in a thread "Do a nice bump of cocaine with your drink!"

I remove the comment, and issue a warning to the user in question via modmail:

Please read the rules of the sub before commenting again.

And included both a link to their comment and the specific rule.

User replied:

Yeah, I looked over your rules, and don't see anything about what I wrote breaking any rules.

Me, quoting what they said and quoting the rule again:

This (link) is what you said, and this (link) is the rule in question.

User's next reply:

Whatever man, my comment had nothing to do with that rule. You're just making things up! I didn't break any of your precious rules!

Sadly, this isn't the first user we've had give that response. Are our rules too complicated for users to follow?

(And yes, we get the argument "But alcohol is a drug!" all the time. If they can't differentiate between a legal substance and an illegal substance, they don't need to be in our sub.)
