Show me where I asked for a 'bye'. If I've breached the TOS, I'll take my lumps.
I don't consider anything that's happened here a 'malicious' provocation.
'Mischievous' at worst. And your repeated claims that Ross' little joke was
somehow an 'injustice' is laughable. Get some perspective.
I don't single Eric out for special treatment. He acts like an prat, I call him
out on it, same way you do for supposed 'injustices'. I'd do the same for
anyone, it's merely the fact that Eric acts prattishly more often than anyone
that it seems like he's being picked on. Eric's responses are his own
responsibility, even if I have a good idea beforehand what it's likely to be.
Eric doesn't get a 'bye' from me just because of an apparent mental instability.
I work on the assumption that, until proven otherwise, Eric is a normal,
functioning member of society, and should therefore act like one. I don't see
why I shouldn't take a jab at him (within the bounds of the TOS) when he
doesn't, simply because he's known for wigging out over it?

What exactly do you think I'm arguing for? All I'm saying is there's no harm
done and that it's all a huge joke, a fact that both you and Eric seem to be
ignorant of.

That's not what you said in your last post.

Indeed. So why not internalise the whole thing and move on? The Community
Policeman thing doesn't really suit you anyway.
