>I fail to see a reason why freenode would prefer that you transition away smoothly? The actions here are of an abuser seeing their partner is considering leaving, beating them harder as a result, locking them out of the house, then using their victim's devices to contact the victim's friends and tell them that everything is actually alright and the victim has decided to stay. Consider the argument, "I fail to see why a domestic abuser would prefer that their victim leave smoothly?"
