No, it wasn't. This is how the voice chat went.
James: Mallissin........... MALlissin. I have a question to ask you.
Mallissin: *silence for 45 seconds to a minute*
James: Mallissin?
Autumn: MALLISSIN!
Mallissin: Hmm?
James: How do you feel about cade breaking?
Mallissin: *silence for 30-45 seconds, wondering "great, where's this going?"*
James: Well, Mallissin?...... How do you feel about cade breaking?
Mallissin: *more silence*
Autumn: Just answer the question, Mallissin.
Dart (in text): Do it, Mallissin.
Mallissin: Why does my opinion matter?
James: Because that cade is impossible to break like cading vents.
Mallissin *even more silence for 20-30 seconds, lots of eye rolling offline*
James: Answer the question or I'll ban you for disrespecting an admin.
Mallissin: WTF? There's no rule saying I need to answer silly questions.
Autumn: But you're disrespecting an admin, Mallissin *in the typical condescending voice she has*
Dart: Just answer him.
Mallissin: This isn't a vent and you make plenty of impossible to break cades.
James and Autumn at the same time saying crap, and I stop talking entirely for the next round or two.
Seem reasonable to you? As I said, it was all a ploy to start an argument so he could have leverage to ban. He asked the question knowing the answer so he can use the answer to justify saying the spot was against the rules. When I explained this in my reply in the other thread, he DELETED THE POST.
Ask any IBIS member who has read the deleted post if they thought it deserved to be deleted, since obviously you aren't being given the chance.
And no, Autumn, both parties aren't "wrong". If two parties are wrong, it would be YOU and HIM, both trying to start trouble which for you isn't surprising but is obviously surprising for some when it comes to James, but doesn't surprise me in the least from my perspective listening to what he says while hiding on spec and whispering in the background in PMs. He is far more conniving than most people give him credit.
Deleting the post proves that, on-top of the reaction to the thread AND the original conversation that started it all.
My only crime is not putting up with it.
