you're probably fine if it's a one-off thing that you apologize for and self-crit. The biggest mistake people make is trying to post their way out of it.

It's genuinely this simple.

There's a huge gulf of space between being wrong about something (not going to get you banned) and deciding to die on a hill and turning into a corncob.(can get you banned)

Pm_me_your_Foucaults spent like 2-3 hours doubling and tripling down in the mod chat after the other person left the chat room. A ton of other people tried to de-escalate or smooth things over, Foucaults absolutely was not having any of it. They never do, and they regularly seek out arguments.

If they do some self-crit (the bar is on the floor) and want to come back, they're more than welcome to do so.

Honestly, I don't understand why people double down, you know. It's like this quote says...

What profits {them} to bleed? Shall the dust praise {them}? Shall the worms declare {their} truth?

"Never stop posting! Never stop posting!" the Hexbear yelled, being buried alive in more and more sand in the morning struggle session after the Revolutionary Red Guard found their bad take stash.
