a lot of these people don't understand the use of punctuation because english is not their first language. It's not the first time i've seen it.

even if it can sound rude for those who use english as a first language, you shouldn't be even butting in the first place, and should have gotten the admins to do it. we already talked about this, no butting in into other people's conversations. anyone who does that must have an uttermost valid reason to do so. if not they get told off for it in private. even if you're trying to do justice here, you just put yourself into that conversation and started pointing fingers immediately, and just because first language is english doesn't mean that is a 100% valid argument, and as you can see, you didn't know — and im not saying that you should have known — that hielmiez doesnt use english as well as anyone of us do. so thats not justice. thats pointing fingers without listening to the other side of the argument.

yes, hielmiez argued poorly, and he didn't figure out what the issue was immediately. he was careless with punctuation and didnt realise the damage. he doesnt fully understand the use of exclamation marks and its ability to over emphasise and get on the offensive side. he too needs to understand that his words can harm people even if he didn't mean it, because of how he phrases things and how he uses punctuation. but that is a story for another day, and i will be talking to him about punctuation. someone else has fallen victim to another editor with mediocre english, and that did not end well. and for that reason, hielmiez will have to have a lecture on punctuation and emphasis from me so that this won't happen again.

both sides became extremely irrational because both sides were lost in translation, you and krystal not knowing that hielmiez's first language isn't english, and hielmiez not knowing that punctuation can be used in offence easily. neither of you won and neither of you lost.
