Playing the devil's advocate in a way: I'm not surprised that he got the ban. After Olav wanted to stop polluting the topic with this meta discussion about "tone" and "speculation", Felipe kept going on anyway, about how complaining about "tone" is unsophisticated (which is actually getting personal). It made him come off as wanting the last word, and that, I think, made them trigger the ban.
Of course, whether or not Olav should be so concerned about "tone" in a text-based medium is another matter entirely and I'll refrain from making a judgment call on that.
- bkor 13y agos/Olaf/Olav/g Pretty easy: "please stop". Person does not. Then ok, bye from me. And yeah, I'm the one you're talking about. And Felipe got banned by one of his best friends on Google+. Apparently really good friend in reality, terrible on Internet. Enough said IMO.
- cyphax 13y agoIf you're Olav; apologies for misspelling your name. I went ahead and fixed those.
- seanc722 13y agoBased on your comments here and there you sound like the one with the attitude problem. But eh this internet drama is quite a good read.
- bkor 13y agoI never said I'm not a bastard (at times).

- felipec 13y agoI was not the one that brought "done" to the discussion, it was Olav and others. That was pretty off-topic, he should have banned himself. Speculation on the other hand is very relevant to the topic. If you accept you arrived at a conclusion through speculation, it opens the possibility that the conclusion might be wrong, and needed to be re-evaluated.
