The thing is, on the internet, you can't tell whether a person is sincere or lying through their teeth. So I'd use what I know about that person.

What I know about Octa was that he broke the rules, twice - and both instances were worthy of a permaban. But here we have vox populi defending him for God-knows-what reason, and suddenly some civil war crap schism is taking place.

I know that Octa would often show blatant disrespect, and add his little facetious comments to serious situations. Usually would go near (if not completely) overboard with sex talk, and encourages other users to do the same. If someone speaks out against him, regardless of how polite or agressive, he retorts with some variation of "I'm not breaking the rules, to punish me is to abuse your power."

It's like if there was a rule about 5 lines of text being equated to spamming, he would type out four lines then brag about how he cannot be punished - whether out of spite, inconsideration, or something else altogether.

I know that I have barely, if not never, seen an attempt by Octa at reconciliation. I have never seen an ounce of penitence in his words. And that makes it all the more unreasonable to lift, or even shorten, his ban.

This is already an abridged, expurgated version of my thoughts.
