Up until your apology, it didn't look like friendly banter (adding in an emoji doesn't make something nice); you seemed to be pestering him about it. You've brought it up a number of times, and that very long post about it seemed obsessive.NonZeroSum wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2017 1:02 amWow thank you for that stellar contribution, so it's bullying to have friendly banter about whether one person is playing a comedic role,brimstoneSalad wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2017 4:06 pm If somebody is bullying you like he seemed to be doing. . .
Nobody aside from him really cares if you're Dizzy or not. . .

The issue is that it's off topic, and you decided to take this "forum-wide"
And then saying things like:
"If you aren't telling the truth however I wouldn't find this funny either"
Which sounds a bit ominous.
It's none of your business whether it's the truth or not. It's not against the rules, and his private identity is just that: private.
I didn't slander you. What I said was on-topic, and based on what you said. And I did what you asked and took it back once your clarified your very poor communication.NonZeroSum wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2017 1:02 am But it is okay to slander someone as a racist and sexist and not apologize for that claim.
You're the only one who owed an apology for being uncivil. I already apologized multiple times for offending you.
My reply was to his threat to leave. I think most people here like him, and I don't think anybody else really cares who he is or will bother him about it to the extent we have seen from you.NonZeroSum wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2017 1:02 am we have affirmed our friendship, for someone to come in after that and say one was bullying is the definition of shit stirring.
I hope Zzzzz doesn't leave if we encounter a similar case of bullying to what appeared to be happening here. I'm glad you resolved it, but it's entirely possible something like this will happen again and I want Zzzzz to know he is appreciated and to not feel he has to leave to escape "forum-wide" harassment because other members will help stand up to the bullying.
NonZeroSum, If you're going to carry around this chip on your shoulder and you aren't willing to hash this out privately and bury the hatchet, you should probably just follow through on your own threat, at least for a few weeks until you can cool off.
