I don't see falsehoods or baiting. I see you acting as though it was. How hard is it to let him have his opinion and leave him be? I would've thought your time on staff would've helped you see that not everyone will agree and sometimes you just have to let it go.
I looked at all of his posts and nothing really stood out to me. Is he a bit strong willed? Yes. I can see how it might be frustrating for a lot of people to not be agreed with, but it happens to me all the time. Sometimes, people disagree with me just to get a rise out of me and they enjoy it. I'm learning to let it go. I have to. It's not worth getting this upset over a toy. Especially an unofficial toy.

It's a typical troll tactic, I just took it a little further, and his response to that sealed the deal.
He can act like an ass, but then when he gets the response to it I'm the bad guy, and his recent reply is so false and typical once more, suddenly my response to him wasn't "really" to him but to "all of the community".
That's the reason for the yawning baby, boring heard all that before.
Respond in kind? No. Sorry. He wasn't acting like an ass, he was acting like someone who was standing his ground on a point and wasn't going to budge.

I don't care if you used to be part of the news crew, you're a member of this board and respecting one another is part of what makes our board a save haven from the madness and instability of the others. People come here because they know they're not going to be torn apart like other boards would do. I've been to all of them and Seibertron is the best of the bunch, by far. I've felt better and safer here than anywhere else. Even before I became a member of the news crew. I want ALL members of this board to feel welcome and appreciated. This is like a community, and everyone should be welcome.
And the fact that you are an ex member of staff does mean something. People know who you are and that you once represented the Seibertron name. To mock him (or anyone) like that and think it will go unnoticed is incorrect thinking.
You're going to do what you want, but we will also step in if it goes too far, which it did here.
No punishments handed out, no warnings, nothing of that nature. Just a request for everyone involved to just stop and move on. I'm not asking that much.
