Yeah, both of them could just engage in some fisticuffs. I'll referee it... and will stop it just before someone dies and whilst they're both bloody as hell.
Seriously though... Pistanator has had so many warnings and only really had to leave a couple of people alone and yet he showed that he wasn't able to. How many last warnings am I supposed to give before I have to actually enforce it? Well, this was one too many and I made that explicitly clear barely a week ago... a week! It's not like Pistanator even tried. As for Donut, yeah he's whinging and I'm certainly not feeling bias towards him, I could've decked him for just invading my personal space at the LFGSS Christmas Party and am resolutely unimpressed with his behaviour on here these past few months. Nothing would've given me more pleasure than to be able to justifiably have banned him rather than Pistanator (seriously Duncan, take this into account because you are also on the thinnest of ice on here)... and Donuts blatant gloating in this thread and on this forum is really offensive. I'm almost seeking an excuse to finish the job properly.
As for the post in question, it was the last straw and quite a few people thought so. Within 90 minutes last night it became the most reported post in ages... 12 reports. That's pretty good going, I'm clearly not the only one who's sick to the teeth of this pathetic behaviour by all involved. And yes it included Donut crying about it, but it also included a lot of people I have time for and whose opinion I respect and treat as a fair barometer of how things on the forum are read. It was absolutely one post too many from Pistanator... and maybe if he gives me long enough to calm the hell down I'll change my mind on the ban... but certainly registering an alias and also being a cry baby isn't going to suddenly make me think he's worth having around if that's the behaviour we can expect.
I'm rather stunned that neither of those involved, whilst both being adults appear to have any grace or decency in them. This forum has more going on than the spectacle of these two fighting, regardless of how entertaining that can be at times.
