Telling a user to go die is hardly something I tolerate.

And indeed, I've always been incredibly vocal and aggressive about my religious opinions. Except no wait I haven't because stuff like this tends to happen in religious debates. I didn't actually say that. I said I would not mind if one day he fell dead, "just being honest" -- it was what I felt like an obvious hyperbole and in response to his flatly unacceptable comment on my faith being mental illness. Um, since when was the phrase "just being honest" used to introduce a hyperbole?

But let's pretend that this is a legitimate argument for a second. Skul messaged me after that saying that he had taken great offense to your comments, and argued that only kicking you was unfair. The fact that Skul took this as a pungent insult is enough to justify a ban such as this, even if your statements were somehow "hyperbole." If not scathing aggressiveness, then it was an act of ludicrous carelessness. >religion is a cancer upon humanity >your adherence to your religion is mental illness

And so I respond with sarcasm -- as I typically do -- and it was misunderstood. I get that. I'm sort of sorry he was offended (I'm not too sorry since calling religion cancerous and specifically my religious views mental illness should be flat-out intolerable).

I still do not in any way find a ban as long as mine justified, with minimal (if any) warning and no punishment whatsoever directed toward the original offender. Your initial ban of thirty days I can only perceive as some kind of ludicrous bias against me (the other three people participating in the discussion were all atheist and their attacks on religion were basically left untouched by you -- in fact, you contributed to them). This ban of two weeks is not much better.
