From his point of view in light of common events he equated it with a personal attack. I have spoken with him of forum and he still holds to the attacks, but I must admit I have not spoken to him of possible browser issues on his end, or somewhere in between the signal.
Still not an excuse to fly off the rails.
And still not an excuse to turn your own profile into a "you're all corrupt"-style billboard.
It's one thing to be simply upset and get a gauntlet-for-a-day to calm down.
It's another to sloganeer and flame.

Yeah. Quoted for motherfucking truth.
If half the ban evaders that we've been hunting simply said "You know what, I was an asshole. And I'm sorry and want to make it up", they'd probably be here (unless they broke the rules egregiously again).
We understand passion. But passion is no excuse for long term assholish behavior.
It's hardly an acceptable excuse even in the heat of the moment.
