you just spent like 5 paragraphs deciding whether or not a guy was reasonable in his accusation based on his bl_id and stating that you would be a much more reasonable individual if you were hypothetically in the same situation and that he should be ashamed
'experienced observer' my ass
Rambling nonsense and an experienced observation are different things.
I understand that my post is hard to digest. I will split it up into simpler points:
1. Swoppy's older BL_ID suggests that he has been on long enough to have negative experience with Damp.
2. I myself remember Damp being banned (in-game) multiple times in the past, so Swoppy is mostly justified.
3. Damp never took the initiative to settle the issue there and then, instead throwing back an insult (possibly more, because Swoppy seemed to be responding to things like 'I don't even remember who you are' that may have been deliberately cut out from the drama, which Foxscotch touches on) indicating that there is more to it than a simple unprovoked attack.
4. From the points extracted above, I believe that I recognise Damp's behaviour in other individuals, and that he carries the same traits: Self-defence, maniplulating/only including some of the truth in order to appear justified.
5. From experience as an administrator, I have settled arguments far worse than this with positive results, and that my first inclination is never to ban or drama someone. Damp should have told Swoppy that he was sorry for whatever he had done, as he recognises that he was problematic in the past but that he isn't quite able to remember what had happened. The whole thing could have been stopped there and then, but no; He was defensive, he didn't want to appear in the wrong in any way shape or form, so he made deflecting responses, which he excluded from the drama.
Summary: Damp is only justified to the degree that he was suddenly accused, seemingly out of nowhere, whereas Swoppy believes that he has been wronged and felt inclined to lash out. When Damp goes to make the drama, he leaves out important bits of information regarding his side of the argument in order to direct the attention towards Swoppy and away from himself, because he doesn't want to appear in the wrong.
The information is there for you to read, those are the facts. I'm not going to spiral into an argument.
