What’s up?

Other players were not foolish enough to bring bs to the bbs.

But... how are we to come to a Forum Committee verdict on whether or not the other party was in the wrong too and whether LilMak was justified?

I was always wondering what it would take for myself to get muted. My life goal has been completed.

Nobody implied he was justified.   However, the mods are now notorious for having a double standard when it suits them.

A mod once told me to stop calling people names after I was the one who had been called one--he blamed me for what the other person said.   When I explained the error politely I got muted while the name-caller blathered on.   This is not an isolated case.  They do this enough to exceed nuisance-level.

Fair and just application of the rules is hardly too much to ask.

Reputation is not relevant in impartial application of the rules, sir.  Someone should never be muted when unilaterally called a name.

Just to be clear, in the example above I was called a name.   I did not respond in kind.   I wound up muted for pointing out it was the other player who said it not me.    He was not chastised despite continuing the insults.  I don't see that as justifiable.

Reputation has a lot to do with the rules. Just look how any sentencing takes priors into account. So yes people who have been muted previously and continually push the line will receive a lot less slack.

Perhaps, but it doesn't excuse punishing the innocent party.   

Point conceded, taken, and understood.

Consider it a punishment for something you didn't get muted for but should have.

Someday people will realize that being good at a cartoon computer game doesn't give you the right to be a jerk of a person.
