Because of incidents like this.

I did not make that thread to intimidate you. I've said multiple times that it was a reminder.

I find it strange that several users here have been breaking a rule in chat and always seem to get away with it.

What rule, you ask?

Please do not: Disrespect anyone, especially to the chat moderators and administrators

Some users have been excessively rude not just to me, but to others during these kinds of arguments - to the point where a user was moved to get off chat. Apart from Russ, nobody has ever apologized and it feels like nobody ever thought that the insults and disrespect was wrong and deserved some action. Despite apologizing, Russ has been eager to pick a fight with me and honestly made me give in to suicidal thoughts yesterday, so I left chat before I started spewing nonsense.

I don't know why I'm the only one getting heat; even though I've said multiple times that my "threats" aren't directed towards the users (nobody can prove that anything I have said can be explicitly interpreted as "Hey, I want to harm you. I'm serious. I really do."), I was still open to change for the better and apologize to everyone who may have been offended. But technically, doesn't my "darkness" fall under the blanket term of anything offensive and appalling as indicated by the chat room disclaimer?

I ask you again. Did you even stop to consider that your actions every day might have something to do with my behavior?

Regardless, it seems the minority always has to compromise for the sake of the majority. So instead of letting this devolve into a numbers game, I'll make a new proposal.

I was never given a formal warning for my actions, like ZIM had done in the past to certain other users. It feels like I'm not even being given a chance to change after a problem was clearly identified.

So, how about this: You give me two or three months to show you that I won't revert back to this behavior. A probation period, so to speak. If you think I am slipping back, I will give up all my user rights.

What do you think?
