who cares lol the server isnt a mod cult ur just being annoying now

you havent shown any interest in speedrunning in there since january and harbor this much vitriol towards admins and active people in there, why so obsessed about being banned ??

Hello!

Being in the discord server is not a right, it's a privilege. Any mod or admin can deem any behavior as breaking the rules. I've read through all the relevant messages and you first misunderstood Sarah's criticism, and then got hostile about it. An example of this would be you saying "So if a trans person gets a negative test result for, idk, some illness test, you can't call it that, because it's this individuals' test = transphobic reaction? I love the world we live in". Sarah never claimed this would be transphobic, and she was merely saying that misinterpreting data in a way that harms a minority group, like the video discussed did, is harmful to that group. If you want to argue about the semantics of calling that "transphobic" then you're in the wrong place. I get that you're not a native English speaker, and that's okay, but that does still break rules 1 and 3, for being hostile, and for needlessly prolonging an argument, and this is why you received a 24 hour timeout, just to cool off.

When said timeout was over, you immediately questioned that decision in a hostile way, saying Sarah just wanted to talk to herself, and implying she wasn't willing to have a productive conversation about it, when you were quite literally arguing semantics. Everyone in this thread, as well as the moderation team of the discord, all agree on the nature of these messages, even if you did not intend for them to come across that way. Your lack of communication skills do not grant you an excuse to needlessly misinterpret an argument and making a scene of it. I will not be responding to this thread any further.

Responding to Clairevoyance: If I was trying to get banned, I would do everything you accuse me of: be petty, hostile, "angry"(elaborate please??). Yet I somehow still keep it respectful, for no apparent reason?

Clarifying "throwaway comments" mentioned in the previous message of yours' - do you mean the "This youtuber is extremely xyz" message? If that is a THROWAWAY comment then I am 100% wrong about what I typed in the discord, if I follow the internet definition of this term correctly (from collins dictionary).

I am not kidding - I fully agree that the offence you put forward is bannable if you - as a community - call the quote above a "throwaway" comment.

Thank you for your time to give me a feedback, I've heard that you are all in a hurry lately because of some actual troll harassing people, so I appreciate it.

Responding to RealCreative - I agree it is a privilege to be on the discord server. Yet the rules of Speedrun.com are also stated, one of them being this:

Discord Servers associated with Speedrun.com game pages are expected to follow Speedrun.com code of conduct. Hate speech and harassment will not be tolerated and may lead to on-site bans.

I call "this person is xyz" a hate speech in 99% of the cases where "xyz" has to do with race/sex/religion.

The fragment you provided was very much a definition of a throwaway comment ("[...] I love the world we live in"), yet it is misunderstood extensively in mutliple messages of the commenters, just like I was misunderstood live when I typed these words "last words" - I was refering to what the term is (how broad it's range of effect is), when it looks like a word that could only be used when someone uses slurs towards individual of this group or the movement as a whole.

I never extensively entertained the semantics on this term (xyz) that you accuse me of - I just asked why would one call another person like that? I kept it respectful at other places, but the message you provided (I agree) is certainly my worst input, YET I don't see it on the level of "ban him for life, shoot his dog and bury them in the desert". That last part is probably a throwaway comment.

Needlessly prolonging argument - I think I did not do that. The "argument" was well and fine after I was timed out, people talked over each other sometimes (like the situation when I was typing my "throwaway" comment).

My english communications skills are good enough to work in this language without offending my friends of different race or religion, so I feel pretty confident about it, even if my responses are that long. I make sure I am not in wrong there, as I was already accused of using wrong words - that's how adults work it out. If I was insensitive in writing about "xyz", then how do you call an untriggered accusation of "xyz" that was made under the Portal video about its creator?

Posing my final question: How is that behavior (banning, where I am not able to respond on a same level, squelched) helping xyz community get a better treatment? How am I able to "not offend" someone in the future? These are both rethorical (and unconnected to the offence) questions I believe, for you to think on. Have a nice time running Portal <3
