As I said when I took the action I did, I was sorry it had to happen, but those are the rules.
Unfortunately, although I watched the replay, I didn't save it. At the time I judged the other racer's behavior to be non-malicious. A misunderstanding of the blue flag rule and inexperience, he was slower than par, but not untidy. A few words of caution were all that were needed. there might have needed to be a kick for repeat behavior of which there was none, but not cause for a ban.
Gumipoliku crossed the line, and I warned him what would happen if he did it again, but he went ahead and did it anyway. There was disruption for other racers as well as the two involved, so action needed to be taken.
I should also make it clear that the other driver did nothing further to provoke friction.
Gumipoliku, I'm sorry I didn't see all of the events leading up to this crisis. I do have a replay saved for an entirely different reason that does show you being affected by the sloppy driving of another driver, so you do have my sympathy; we all have days like that from time to time.
But declaring war on our servers won't solve anything. Just as banning everyone who makes a mistake doesn't solve anything.
If you're unhappy with me, I understand. But please don't demand that I sacrifice my race to appease you. As well as being the only admin there at the time, the server was full. Everyone else seemed to be doing ok. I did take an interest in his driving at that point, but saw nothing to criticise.
My phone is futzing and I can't edit this, which is why it's a bit stream-of-consciousness-ish, so I'll continue this discussion at a kb if neccesary, but I don't think it should be. A deep breath and a night's sleep - problem sorted.
