So the mod is threatening to ban someone for defending themself - seems like a dbag thing to do.
It's the I-don't-care-who-started-it injustice.
Often people in authority will see injustice and respond as if the real problem was that everyone else disturbed them, failing to even attempt to actually understand the situation first.
This is because power has been shown to cause changes in the brain that make you less capable of empathy.
We weaponized 0 tolerance in my highschool. After a friend got suspended for being suckered punched by a bully without even getting a chance to respond, we decided to take turns fighting the bully to ‘use up’ his 5 suspensions, rhe 5th of which resulted in a mandatory expulsion. And we did. The morning his suspension ended, right when he walked in the door, in full view of the congregated teachers, one of my friends hit him, earning them both a suspension. Next time he was back the same.

Seriously, why do they even care? It’s not like people are threating violence or even cursing each other out.
