From what I see, one was trying to de-escalate and not let something drag on for 5 pages and dilute the thread, and the other does the opposite. And I generally don't moderate on a singular post basis but a recurring trend.

To put it very clearly: I am asking you to reconsider when, what and how you decide to post. There are reasons to that. I'm not to be convinced, when multiple reports come in on the same person, I hop into the thread and scroll a page back for context to read through if I think the reports make good points. If they do, I butt in. I don't play "He said she said" games, I'm talking to you. If Varangian decides to be a problem continuously, he can expect me at his doorstep some day too. We're talking about you now. Either you choose to self-reflect and look inwards, and figure out why I'm talking to you - Or you don't and eventually end up being unable to post for a while.

Clear?
