Hi there, this is Ducckk. I hope that my ban doesn't make you judge this post before you read it.
We challenged your request to change his name because we though it was wrongly issued, not because we were looking for a fight. You say we "went on about something else" but we didn't, we stayed put with the topic on hand and continued to discuss what was wrong about Furry's name.
The problem that we have is not the length of the ban (for either of us), it was why he was banned. I respect your rules and agree with them. They are well thought out, so if someone has a burst of anger and cusses, they aren't instantly banned for life, I like that. The rule that was cited over and over again was a rule against offensive language, but no offensive language was said (on Furry's part, we'll get to what I said in a moment). The word "gay" is not offensive in nature, it's a sexual orientation. People use it as an insult but that doesn't mean that whenever someone says the word "gay" that it was an insult. Furry is gay. That's not an insult, it's a fact. He has the word "gay" in his name because it describes him, not because he dislikes gay people.
I called you a bigot. I said that because in my mind the only plausible reason for Furry's ban was because gay people were not accepted on that server, since the way he used the word "gay" represented his sexual orientation, and not an insult. I apologize if I was wrong, but the facts weighed in favor of bigotry.
We don't have anything against the administration of the server and were not trolling, so I hope these posts are not read as such.
