Lets just briefly review:
Just in your first paragraph in response to the claim you start in on him immediately by sarcastically insulting his spelling, immediately followed by calling him a xenophobic idiot. You then continue to attack him by making up some fantastic interpretations of what he wrote and then categorizing him based on those interpretations. Don't forget this very friendly phrase from you, "Though GeneralRisk has the prose and grammar of a texting 16 year old who dropped out of 2nd grade and has had the South Park movie on repeat since that time..." No one would ever take offense to that statement right? No baiting or flaming here right? And lastly, your perceived educational level probably had nothing to do with his first world comment as it probably was just him being contrary to your opinion.
And these were just lightly skimmed from your first entry. I would just say here that you may have elicited some of these negative responses from your non biased and very friendly manner in which you have treated him.
You asked for civil conversation, but continually bait GR. Just don't act like you haven't said anything to provoke him.
Thanks,

Hey Jghost,
I don't agree that xenophobic idiot is all that bad. I do agree that my "texting 16 y.o (etc.)" comment was the least ... ummm ... professional/respectful ... I don't know what the right word there is. I was making a different point there: No matter what you think about GR, gaerapi's game chat was bigotry. That could have been worded better. Keep in mind that this was one sentence in some rather lengthy posts. Maybe I slipped up here, but I don't think that I've been baiting or flaming him. In fact, I'd rather he just stayed away, since his posts haven't added anything to the conversation. I wouldn't do anything to try to get him to say more given the manner in which he chose to respond.
I had only referenced one post of yours and I do believe I stated that fact. There were others but I had hoped that you would get it without me having to go over every post you made. I erred in thinking that you would understand the point. You were talking about and insulting him in a thread in C&A and referencing him for reprimand, of course he wouldn't take an interest in that...

I think this is the clearest case there was as GR managed to get an entire thread shut down by himself in about 3 posts. That's got to be some kind of record. Everyone else was having a conversation similar to the one here.
GR can come off as cantankerous character but he did not shut that thread down all by himself. This is the problem with your reasoning process. You have some points and some rubbish, a true pain when you consider the general lengthiness of your posts and my not wanting to have to sort through that mess. That being said, GR did not shut down the thread, rather it was probably that the case had been decided and people were still posting including yourself.
There's also the issue about whether he joined the game with the intent to bait/flame, but that hasn't been either clearly shown nor refuted.
Nor will it. You are not him and cannot do more than speculate about it.
...
Again, I can definitely see the argument for the game chat being held to a higher standard, as there's not really a way to avoid game chat. You see it if you play the game.
You won't see it if you Foe him.

Yes it is. That doesn't mean we can't continue to talk about it, as long as everyone keeps it civil. Though the mods may lock us out if they think it has carried over too long after the case has closed. I don't know what their protocol on that is.
If you really want to discuss the subject, then you will have to use the General Discussion or the Suggestions forum and continue it there. It would have been better to have had it there from the start so that you could have had a continuous discussion rather than had them cut off. These threads are for specifics of an incident or suspected abuses. Suggestions is where changes are generally discussed. So go there and start up a thread about the clarification of those rules.
