We are. So far, the consensus is that there isn't much merit to Kai's argument. If you want to change our minds, you need to address the points that egamma just raised:Quote from: egamma on September 09, 2013, 03:26:13 PMIt comes down to this. Nobody, including Kevin, has provided any evidence at all that I either falsified those OOC messages, or that those OOC messages weren't violations of the Social Contract. And that's all the case is about. Three simple questions: did Kevin write them, and if so, were they violations of the IRs or SC, and if they were, what is the punishment?All this nonsense about who's out to get who is irrelevant. Those are the only three questions that the Magistrates have to consider. I couldn't have said it better myself. At this point, specifically the bit about whether the messages were violations of the Social Contract is the only part that matters to the Magistrates since Kai has already admitted to writing them.

I've already said I don't they were insulting. The msg was directed at his realm mate's game play, not his inherent goodness as a person. I understand that reasonable people can disagree on where to draw the line between 'insult' and 'non-insult', but if the consensus is (seems to be) that calling someone an !@#$%^& is acceptable, I don't see how you can reconcile getting upset because Kai said that another player is "bad at the game".If he had said, for example, "Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberries," those would fighting words.
