Aren’t you all a peachy bunch? You guys do know that I am a human being, right? That I have a perfectly good message wall where you can ask me why I did it? But no, you go here, assume the reasons are stupid and vengeful and keep piling on, making me out to be some sort of villain. How is this behavior not beyond rude? You all should be ashamed of yourselves, quite frankly.

And now that that is out of the way, I’m gonna throw all this out here:
 * I’m a busy person. I have a life outside of the wiki. It isn’t always on my mind 24/7. I spent part of that month determining whether to ban Rai for his behavior and decided that what he has done on this wiki did constitute blocking him. That’s one reason for the delay. We are unpaid volunteers using up our free time here, after all.
 * I don’t send the emails out. If it got delayed, that’s on the automated wiki system, not me.
 * Another reason is this. All this right here. I’m savvy enough to know that blocking a former admin and a personality in this community could have consequences and I was fully weighing them before going through with it. I rarely do anything on a whim.
 * And why are you all getting offended on his behalf, anyhow? He’s a big boy and if he wants to talk about why he got banned he can do so himself. I am fairly confident he didn’t send you guys over here. Why are you all taking up arms in a fight he doesn’t care about himself?
 * I never watched anything of his. Ever. I never even subscribed to him. I don’t even know about any of the contents of his videos. I banned him solely for his behavior on this site.
 * What sort of behavior? He constantly harassed folks just asking questions about cards. He was very aggressive and it scared people off. It’s fine to be yourself but it’s another to be a jerk.
 * Not to mention all the toxic arguments he himself started or fanned. I had to keep deleting threads because of how bad the comments were getting. And yes, whole threads. I can easily delete just a few comments if I just wanted to take out the opinions I didn’t like, but I took down whole threads here. I also didn’t want some necro to come by and keep adding to it months or years later.
 * There was also his suicide note that he left on this site. Funny you guys didn’t mention how toxic that quickly became. Admittedly, it could have been something else, but it was one of those “if it quacks like a duck” things, especially combined with that avatar photo.
 * Speaking of, no, I couldn’t have just gotten rid of it. I don’t have the power to affect what a user looks like across multiple wikis. That’s absurd. I had to get Staff involved to remove it. Yes, multiple people who don’t even know him agreed that he had done something bad just by looking at that picture. So, they went and removed it. Do go on about how only I had serious issues with his behavior.
 * And no, I couldn’t just talk to him. Why? Because he has made a clear effort to not comment on this wiki ever again! Can’t talk to someone who doesn’t respond. Besides, if he doesn’t comment anymore, how does this ban affect him in the least?
 * By the way, if he himself went up to me and you know, talked to me, I might have gone “okay, sure I can lift the ban. But can you promise not to cause issues again?” Of course, he hasn’t because I feel it’s clear he stopped caring. Only you seem to.
 * I also did it a little to get his attention to see if he cared. I think I made it clear that I know he doesn’t. He made that pretty clear himself.
 * And you’re telling me that after all the toxic behaviors, the abrasive comments to noobs, and all the allusions to suicide, that he should have gotten a warning? Who doesn’t know such behaviors are wrong?
 * I also didn’t issue any as he used to be an admin and thus most certainly should have known better than most people here!
 * You’re acting like I’m obsessed with him. I’m not. He barely crosses my mind on occasion even when I go on this site. I think I made that clear when I said I never watched any of his videos. I can only ever get obsessed over cute boys and even then, it tends to not last all that long, anyhow.
 * I don’t have the energy to bother nursing any sort of vendetta. That’s the sort of behavior people who only seek to make others miserable get up to. I looked at how he treated other people and not just me.
 * By the way, I do plan to delete this thread at some point. And no, it isn’t to stifle your right to badmouth me. It’s for the same reason I delete most of these sorts of threads: so some necro down the line doesn’t come up and comment months later, reopening old wounds. And I usually do such deletions after it goes roughly a day without comments.

So, can I get some sleep now? I’m very tired. Just in general. If you’re going to keep vilifying me (and I know you will), at least have the decency to give me some fangs, a cool cape, a throne room, and a minion or two. Thanks.
