I’ll start from the beginning, both to provide as much context as possible, and to hold myself to account for my own improper actions.
After I lodged a vote for Midori, they sent this message:
I love how Adam basically said, "Midori might trick Gon and three-shot him!!!" and Pikaman is already jumping to the voting.
I found this post rather mocking of me and my ability to think independently. I grew enraged to a level I in all likelihood shouldn’t have, and thus responded more harshly than I should have, saying:
Kindly **** off with the pettiness… your post reeks of hypocrisy… Your statement was childish, and disrespectful, if not slimy.

I realise now that, regardless of the personal offence taken by myself to their post, my response was blown out of proportion and unreasonably angry. Up until now the debate had been civil and of good quality, so before attempting to continue on with said debate, I finished my outburst, having somewhat cooled down, by saying:
I’m hoping that was an isolated incident, and we can now return to a civil debate. At the very least, I’ll attempt to do such.
Hoping to draw a line under the incident. I then proceeded to spend the rest of my post debating points made in the thread.
TioKill then responded, saying:
…you can already put yourself in your place and keep quiet… you can't debate for shit… you can't debate for shit ²…

I understand the fact I was harsh to them, and that they retaliated. I tried again to slightly cool down the situation, saying, in regards to the section of my initial retaliation where I expressed hope this was an isolated incident:
That wasn’t a shot at you (exclusively at least), it was an acknowledgment that up until your comment the debate had been civil and of high quality. I myself admittedly got more riled up than I should have (though I still do take offence to what you said), and I had cooled down somewhat by the time I got to that part of my message, so I was just saying I wanted the debate to not be tainted by what was a poor piece of form from the both of us. I apologise I responded in such a harsh manner

To which I received the response:
As well as
just quit debating already.

I understand my own actions were far from savoury, and I’m willing to take disciplinary action myself if needs be, but I do feel that, despite my own attempts after time to de-instigate the situation, including an apology, TioKill was needlessly and persistently aggressive, to a level I felt this report necessary.
