Ok, if I am understanding things correctly, someone described a character in TLJ by using the r-word. It of course pissed off Frink and he responded using the f-word and other things and got temp banned for it. Did the person using the r-word get banned or disciplined at all?
No, and that’s what I think is the real injustice.
They only said it once. And they did get warned that it’s not acceptable.
How many times they said shouldn’t matter. The point is, the rules say that any use of slurs results in an “immediate and permanent ban with no prior warning.” Jay should at least apply his rules equally.
Frink, meanwhile, didn’t just blow up about that, but he kept berating and harassing Jedi Master Skywalker about probably-being-JMOW instead of just reporting him and letting the mods sort it out. (by the way, JMSW is not JMOW, so say the mods.)
Ok, but if it were for his whole corpus of behavior that day, Jay should have said so. My argument is not that Frink should not have been banned, but that both should have been banned. That’s the fairest solution.
Frink has had more than one incident, and over an extended period of time. Just that one use of r-word is not, I think, ban-worthy.
Under my reading of the rules, it is.
