Sorrow:

While I don't condone your daughter's actions in the slightest, I can understand the position that you're coming from as her father and at the least, can say that I don't think badly of you at all for your actions and can commend them to a certain extent, one must always watch out for their own no matter what.

However, a fe things that I want to address before we hopefully put this all behind us regardless of whether you choose to stay or to leave.

When I insulted your kid, that she was a GIRL had no factor in my choice of what to say. I would have said the same if it was a guy. I treat the women the same way that I treat the men (for the large part). So no, I don't condone insulting women because they're women.

I DO however condone insulting people that make phenomenally stupid mistakes in the hopes that the sting of it will either push them towards never doing it again, or to push them away from a community so that they will not suffer for it. Not by everyone, hell no. But by the people in positions of authority? Yeah, I do. If a math teacher were to call me a retard for getting a problem wrong where I didn't know how to do it, that I see as an abuse of he authority and something that shouldn't happen. However, If I knowingly make a mistake and he/she calls me an idiot for it? I'd probably accept the rebuke and let it goad me into watching myself more carefully to prevent that mistake.

Her age....well, I'll grant you, that fact, if I'd known before I posted, I might have thought twice and toned down the language. But now that it's been said, will I unsay it? No. I'm afraid that I won't.

Like it or not, your daughter broke the rules. Her official "punishment" for it was to be put on probation until Thursday, a measly 3 days of no Unet fun? That really seems proportional to insulting other members that warned her against breaking the rules and breaking international copyright law yeah?

But it was a choice of that, or outright banning her and I decided to go with the probation instead. Despite the insults and despite my initial inclination to just ban her (and animelunatic...don't think I've forgotten about you), I put aeryn on a temp ban and am hoping that anim's learned his/her lesson.

And as for this:

I would imagine that they'd feel the way .:hikki:. felt when your daughter called him a "little prick".
