I think what they're saying is that people have repeatedly violated rule 7 (among others) on this topic, so they're going to let the issue cool some more before allowing it back here.
The main problem I've seen with LAM threads is that otherwise rational posters seem to get sucked into the vortex and it's warnings left, right and center. I imagine from a moderator point of view, it just looks like more work than it's worth. The mods really aren't out to ban people, but that's what lies at the end of the LAM road if they don't let it cool a bit more. I like the community here, and every time they have to ban someone, we all lose a little bit of that.
EDIT: Missing word.
