I heard you were argumentative over opinions you had, and I can see it stemming into here. Before you heard her side, you jumped to assuming it was only her personal opinion- which it wasn't. After she responds, if I feel I need to, myself and the other staff member that weighed in on your ban will respond as well.

I also find it funny that you responded with a controversial comic. What if my views differ from that which you posted? does that make me even more wrong for having a differering opinion? C'mon, really? Are we all that biased as to agree to disagree and go on about our lives? Are we that petty as to let emotions get in the way? A lot can be misconstrued over just text on a page. One can say "Argumentative" and one can say "Having an adult conversation" just by the opinions we hold. Prove me wrong on this.

I mean, aside from the age-old comic not trying to incite a heated debate (which as Grimm has said, it's been there for months) it doesn't quash anyone's views. It's an open-ended statement, leading the reader to be able to continue to believe what they want. Then again, you're calling me out on a Calvin and Hobbes strip...

That aside, you've been causing strain for more than just today. As for being petty for letting emotions get in the way, Kiro protected herself from that by asking other staff members their opinions on what should be done. We agreed it was well time to call attention to this where it couldn't be ignored. And you're right- a lot can be misconstrued from text on a page, does this mean you realize how we interpreted what you were trying to do?

As for argumentative vs. having an adult conversation... yeah. Argumentative doesn't always use maturity, and on our server it often deteriorates into fights staff has to step in on. Having an adult conversation means realizing when it's time to stop, or realizing when it's time to not even bring up a topic. (Examples of those to follow when Kiro presents chat logs)
