<Bjord> You there?
<Tennenoth> I am mate, what's up?
<Bjord> Well, kinngrimm made a ban request on me.
<Bjord> And I think it's bs that he only goes after me, plenty of other people make fun of him and not only me
<Bjord> And now I probably will get banned for a long time. The thing is, admins were on the server playing atthe time and no one said anything.
<Bjord> Parodizing someone's name should not bannable, and if insulting is a problem then the decision should be arbitrary, not made upon request. That is a flawed system.
<Tennenoth> Well, if he took offence to it, from what I understand, you instigated it.
<Bjord> Yes, of course.
<Tennenoth> Kill the head, the rest of the snake dies, that's the mentallity behind it.
<Bjord> Sensitive people are always going to take offense. I always get ridiculed but I don't make ban requests every time.
<Tennenoth> You get as good as you give I guess.
<Tennenoth> I think your best bet is to apologise to Kinn
<Bjord> I am far from the head of the snake, id there's even such a thing.
<Bjord> Anyway, I'd appreviate if you took care of the request. :/
<Tennenoth> No sarky remarks, just a straight up apology regardless of whether or not you mean it.
<Bjord> Okay.
<Tennenoth> I am, if you apologise, I will push for a compromise.
<Bjord> Well I'm muted.
<Tennenoth> Ah.
<Tennenoth> There is a problem then
<Bjord> Can you forward the following to him?
<Tennenoth> Absolutely.
<Bjord> Nah, just post for me.
<Tennenoth> Sure.
<Bjord> "Hello kinngrimm,(paragraph) I am sorry if you feel upset about my parodies of your name, I will not repeat them. However, please don't say that I insult and harass everyone, because that is not true. Yes, I lash out at people, but I do not continuously harass them. This treatment I reserve for special players.
(not done yet)
<Bjord> Consider yourself special. But since you obviously do not appreciate my nicknames, I will immediately stop. I am capable of listening, so next time if you have a problem, if it wouldn't be too much of a trouble for you, please talk to me directly. I would prefer not getting banned for something so trivial.(still not done)
<Bjord> (paragraph)
<Bjord> I don't have a lot to say in my defence except a plead of forgiveness, as I do not like to cause people genuine stress and grief. I am capable of empathy more than you'd think, so please find it in yourself to forgive me. I asked Tennenoth to relay this message to you since I am muted, and since he was the one who issued the ban last time. Once again, apologies for troubling you so much."
<Bjord> I guess that's it. What do you think?
<Tennenoth> Pretty good, but if you'll agree that if you do anything again, I will ban you for a long stretch.
<Tennenoth> By that I mean 2+ weeks.

<Bjord> That would be incredibly nice of you.
<Bjord> Of course I agree.
<Tennenoth> Alrighty.
<Tennenoth> I've posted it up, I'll see his reaction, although I do feel that people can really dig at people, I mean, this is a game, people come to play a game, not to get harrassed.
<Bjord> Thanks again. I'd like to express my gratitude more, but I'm afraid I'd appear too emotional in contrast to my usual image. ;)
<Tennenoth> Hah!
<Bjord> Yeah, I suppose.
<Tennenoth> Sure, but you know the "price"
<Bjord> Internet is a tough place, turned me into somewhat of a nasty troll I suppose.
<Bjord> I'm still a person.
<Tennenoth> True, and I hope you don't make me a fool! ;)
<Bjord> Butyeah, I guess you are one of the few reasonable people on here, so I'm glad you're around to keep people like me straight. I'll try and think about how my behaviour affects others more. ;)
<Tennenoth> Sounds good to me.
<Tennenoth> I don't really like banning people because it just brings me hassle down the road. If I can sort something out with people I know can be reasonable themselves, I'd prefer to do that.
<Bjord> Once again, thanks. Give yourself a pat on the shoulder for fair mindedness, from me.
<Tennenoth> Done.
<Bjord> All right! Time for sleep. Night. ;)
