Second note: WARNING, ESSAY AHEAD

A few last words from me: The internet is just like real life. The supposed "dark side of the internet" is all bullcrap. You guys know how the good part of the world is hospitals, charities, and all the god-blessed things? Well, the wiki falls under that. We're a place for people to have fun. not be ''antagonized. ''

Moreover, the "dark side" of the internet is where mobsters, illegal drug deals, human trafficking, and all that crazy stuff if we were to analogize it into real life. Do we really want to go there? No. We have a choice. We should all stay away from that and not bring it here.

How this is linked to what I want to say? The internet is basically another life. What you do on the internet should be akin to what you would do in real life. So you insult someone to hell and back on the internet? No excuses for that, you're still hurting someone. It is just as if you are doing it in real life.

Therefore, with what I have said, all this quarrel is unnecessary (note: I'm lampshading unnecessary). Now, I'm going to be playing the devil's advocate. You've all been playing from Snow's eyes, let's see the world from Akane's.

The chat was dying, Akane got bored and decided to do what I usually did when I'm bored, ignite a few things. Normally I'd get played around with... but this happened. A ban. And one that is wrong and unjust.

So you guys started to pick on her, then she got mad and hissy. After that, most of you stopped but Snow wouldn't for reasons I cannot comprehend. That's where the fault lies. Note my soliloquy up there: Internet = RL.

Normally. NORMALLY. This would be okay if it were someone else OTHER than Akane. It could be Derp, Michael, Ire, me, Key, Vance, or anyone else that we're all close buddies with. Problem is, you guys chose the wrong person to make fun of. I doubt any of you know Akane all too well, and it shows.

Next, Snow decided to go on a rampage taunting Akane even when she clearly said that ''SHE WANTED TO BE LEFT ALONE. ''Seriously guys, you're all supposed to be good people. Be nice to each other and all that, aren't we supposed to be?

...also, this line is a kicker: Snow: "no, you casted an illusion to make evthing set on fire, which is a pretty d-bleep- move if you ask me." ...No words. I ignite things on a daily basis and nobody seems to mind. I skydive into the lounge, destroy the roof and nobody minds. I made Zelban twerk and they laugh at him. Why should it be any different for Akane? What is this, attacking?

And the conclusion happened when I came on. I saw everyone trying to drag me into this and be an unbiased judge... didn't really work out that well in the end because I ended up being dragged onto one side. After a few minutes of inappropriate internet failure and incoherent babble on the chat, Akane got smashed with the hammer. Bang, all over. Gone but not forgotten.

Why did I summarize the events? Because I want to provide some... counterarguments. I'll use myself as an analogy seeing as I can incendiate stuff without any qualms.

First off, a small analogy

Akane POV: Chat was dying, Akane was bored. She decides to play with fire. A hellfire filled with flames and hatred flies through the lounge.

Breloom POV: Chat was dying, Breloom was bored. He decides to play with fire. The entire lounge catches fire, the aquarium ends up being drained and everything goes back to normal.

...See the difference? Bias, I tell you. If I were the one igniting everything, the fish in the aquarium would be the entities dying. Why should it be any different for her?

To follow, Snow and Akane were equally hurling out insults at each other. Akane was trying to defend herself while Snow was straight-up attacking her using the "Internet" argument. What concludes? Akane was banned for harassment and Snow was banned for PG. Akane for 3 days, Snow for 1. So, anyone see any justice in this? I don't.

If anyone wants to rebut, please do. I'd like to find flaws in my own argument.
