But I ask you, isn't this what Krimel does and writes it off to being 
a wizard of Norrath where social ridicule is something "that wizards will do"?

[Arlo]
Kindly point out one instance where Krimel has acted with malicious 
intent, towards you or anyone. Kindly point out how you feel harm has 
been done to you by anything Krimel has said or done.

Also, know that "social ridicule" in and of itself is a matter of 
degree. The harm this person sought to inflict on Ant carried over to 
a harm perpetuated on us all. If it was just a matter of "name 
calling" or even saying snide comments in the forum, I would condemn 
it but not think it alone would warrant banning contribution. Hell, I 
support Platt's ability to be here even if his contributions are 
typically insults levied against me.

It is also a matter of what the context of this deception included. 
Were I to find out that "Marsha" exists in a "male" body, I would not 
find this deceptive, nor would I demand that such "deception" be 
grounds for removal. It is clear, however, that the goal of this 
person was not to speak against the MOQ, but to actively disrupt 
attempts by others to speak for the MOQ. Again, there is a line 
between peaceable assembly and rioting. Social law (written or 
accepted) must be sensitive to this.

Believe me, many here supported what this person had done, and did 
NOT see it as an act of deceit or maliciousness. Oddly, the people 
who most supported this deception are the ones who most loudly would 
denounce my ideas about plurality of selves. So you can see the 
irony, and why its funny that you'd take my ideas and read into them 
that I  "seemingly" support dishonesty.

But give me some examples of things you find deceitful and malicious, 
and how exactly harm has been done.
