In summary, the conversation is about a person receiving a black and red notice on a website, causing them to question what they did wrong. They come to realize that it was just a mistake on their part and the site's way of trying to scare them. There is also mention of being a mentor and the consequences of clicking the wrong button. The conversation ends with a warning to not click the wrong button.

I got a big notice in black and red telling me I don't have permission to visit the page. What terrible crime had I committed? Was it something I said? Did I fail to provide peer-reviewed references? Was I posting off-topic? Someone caught me trolling? Or, horror of horrors, did I upset a moderator?

Nah, none of those things, I'd duplicated a page and edited something before returning to the old page. The site didn't like that and decided to try to :dademyday:scare me to death.

Well Boo! to you too!

Black and red hey?, the essential lighting stuff of horror movies.
Though I noticed that lately there is a trend to using far blue as well.
