Exactly, that's pretty much what I'm doing here yet I'm not getting banned for it.
Your use of reasoning takes the context of the situation runty was in, and to compare it to what you are doing here
and this is quite an unfair analogy...
it may be what you are doing here (showing loyalty) can be slightly comparable to runty's situation, but the context and level of aggravation the situation runty was in, is incomparable with what you are standing for here. Hence why you are not banned...
I know the context differs, since Tom was provoking an already-aggrivated Ush. I believe, however, that ban decisions should be made based on the actual offense, not just the context the offense was committed in. Reading through my posts in this topic, Tom said a lot less to recieve his ban. The only difference is the fact that he said it to a pissed-off Ush, rather than a debating Ush.
For example:
somebody who uses speedhacks on a TT race would deserve just as much punishment as somebody who cheats in a oneworld race. Yet the type of race that's being hacked on differs totally. Different context, same offense.
TL;DR context doesn't matter.
