So Thranos isn't going to forgive you, needless to say. Can't say I blame them. Aethir's PM to them really just hurt this appeal's chances, as they have now involved themselves in this too.
I frankly don't give a shit what Thranos did or didn't say, though.
Let's hypothetically say that he did say something stupid; it's so far in the past and he is so vehemently denying it that he obviously does not agree with the statement that was made so it's not likely he's going to keep saying that. In that scenario, basically, I'm telling you to get over it. You seem to grasp that, but now Aethir is getting involved too.
Now let's hypothetically say that he didn't say something stupid; it's so far in the past and the human mind is actually really terrible at keeping memories organized. Somebody else said something and Thranos got mixed in by Hoodoo's memories because they were having their own ongoing shit show. They never said "neck yourself" or
anything alluding to that, but
somebody did, and that identity is lost to time. In this scenario, Thranos is literally innocent and this is all a horrible misunderstanding that needs to stop.
Either way, the end desire is the same. It needs to stop.
To reference what I said earlier;
I'll be honest Thranos, I think you did say something stupid and you sincerely have no memory of it.
He was
not happy about me saying this and gave me a good scolding in DMs and then blocked me before I could respond, so I'll talk here instead. I did not specify what that "stupid thing" was, and deliberately so. Why? You two liked to argue a lot back in the day, and boy, your arguments got ugly, no matter how much either of you might try to deny it.
I myself have accidentally mixed in different people with an argument they had nothing to do with. In fact, there's at least a few ban appeals here that boil down to a mistake in identity.
But that's not the point. Like I said, I don't care what Thranos did or didn't say. It's not that I don't care because "noose yourself faggot" isn't deserving to be punished, rather I don't care because it's such an old ordeal that wasn't handled correctly when it happened, and now details are too muddled to go back on and handle fairly without serious risk of punishing an innocent party.
So here is my compromise. I'll accept the appeal on one condition.
If this "noose yourself faggot" stuff gets brought up again, ever,
at all, and I find it traces back to either of you (and I will), I am just going to ban you again and be done with it. I am also going to ban Aethir, assuming that Aethir is in agreement to this suggested resolution. Why do I threaten to throw both of you out for this? Because I'm tired of hearing it. Furthermore, Thranos is tired of getting blamed over something that, in his mind, he truly doesn't believe he did, and me even
insinuating that he might have said it is infuriating to him because he
knows it would be wrong. I mean, I would be pretty pissed off too if I was accused of doing something like that, and I would hate even entertaining the idea that I
might have, because it doesn't sound like something I would do. I would get very upset about people bringing it up, because I would feel helpless to defend myself about it when deep down I sincerely don't think I said anything like that.
Conversely, if by some insane reason Thranos goes full Illuminati false flag operation and somehow convinces his own friends to talk shit about himself just to get you both banned, I know damn well I'm going to find out about it, and you know what will happen to them. (Really, I don't think Thranos is the type to do that, but I have to cover edge cases just in case you're worried about somebody trying to abuse this policy.)
So, Aethir, Hoodoo, are you both willing to accept that risk? That if this shit gets dredged up again, you're both gone. Hoodoo, I honestly still don't fully trust you, so by Aethir acting as collateral, there's some insurance that you will keep to your word. Again, Aethir needs to agree to this, or I won't do this.
