We don't understand other arguments? Are you kidding me? After I spent months trying to reach a calm, reasonable agreement with you, after I spent so much time just deleting your stuff and practically begging you, after I gave you fourteen warnings and told you repeatedly that you’d be facing a partial suspension if you didn't follow the rules—and even then, I kept pleading with you to just listen and stick to the guidelines—you spent that entire time, all those months (I issued your first formal warning on September 19, 2014, but before that, it was just endless deletions and pleas, pleas, pleas...), completely ignoring everything! You just insisted on doing things your own way, raging, provoking, insulting people, and breaking every rule in the book. And then you went and opened a whole army of clone accounts just to keep up the provocation and insults! I wasn't trying to give you a free pass; I was just banning the clones and occasionally extending your suspensions until you finally exhausted every single option I had left, leaving me with no choice but to take action—and even then, you kept going with those clones. So, we’re the ones who "couldn't be handled any other way" except through insults? Are you being serious right now? Dead serious? Look, I am a very patient person, and honestly, you are one of the people I have been most patient with, even though you certainly didn't deserve it, but somehow *I'm* the one who doesn't understand other arguments? Give me a break! This wasn't just a bad couple of days where someone acts out of emotion; this has been your pattern for years. I really don't think it's a good idea to allow someone on this forum who is so fundamentally opposed to cooperation, suggestions, and rules, and who falls for provocations so easily.
