OOC: @Nail: No, it's not an excuse. I never said it was. I said many times that Gear was in the wrong the most, but most people were just not as, lets say sensitive to him. What happened could have been avoided, but it wasn't, and not just because of Gear.
@Salt: No it was not that insulting, but you tried (sort of) to hide it anyway, so it might have just been better to not post anything at all. Like I said, it could have been avoided, but almost no one acted they way they should have. It was a slippery slope, and the majority of people slid right down.
