Anyway, I don't particularly care to comment on the Monke situation, but since I was one of the names mentioned, I feel it prudent to get my opinion out there.
If it was me alone the problem would never have made it to the RVR. I have a long history of taking and receiving shit from internet weirdos, and generally speaking I consider it a form of quality entertainment to lock horns in 0.5 IQ banter battles.
However, given that Monke tends to not limit that kind of behavior to me and his friends, I think this ban was for the best. He was extremely confrontational, the truth be told, and he would never leave an argument end without having the last word. This of course could easily, and did easily, end up in posts that very much break the rules. And unlike the cases with myself, I can't just turn a blind eye to those directed at other people. That's not to even speak of his behavior shifting even after an apology straight back to Aggression City.
I don't think any of this behavior is born out of genuine malice, just immaturity. He seems very young, and I'd wager this is just wanting to look cool on the internoots. It would explain how stand-offish and aloof he wants to be perceived as.
It almost makes me want to argue for a longer block. Not because I think his actions are particularly bad, but mostly for the fact that some more time off to grow up would do him good. Goodness knows getting our asses yeeted for extended periods did wonders for Bambu and me, back in the day.
That's all I gotta say on the matter.
