I read through the Discord, and here's what I'm getting from the conversation.
1. People start a conversation about language and pronunciation. One person thinks someone else was demeaning them when they were not.
2. One of the staff jumps in, saying one of the people was being rude. They were only talking about the languages, explaining that the complicated concept is indeed complicated. The gave an oobservation about either one person or a group of people, and while they may or may not have made a generalization, if an explanation is that complicated, they shouldn't have to explain it.
3. Logan expresses his dislike for the other person, then states that sometimes, the wrong people are punished here. This is true.
4. After the first person is told to link messages about the discussion, Logan says that people can scroll up to see them. This is true, and I don't see anything bad about that. As he said, he's trying to help. I think that's great.
5. Logan jokes about not being able to help only because he's not a mod. I accept that.
6. Logan asks if he is always wrong. No. He asks if he should be banned just for trying to help, which is also no. Then he tells people to enjoy their therapy, a nice thing if you have it.
7. Another person joins, asking what's happening. Logan suggests that everyone stop talking about the topic, and I agree. He then says that the drama isn't wanted here. Again, true.
8. People keep talking about it, for some reason, even though Logan is telling everyone to stop.
9. Logan goes on a little tangent about gender, the only part that I think is not very good.
10. The staff say that if he keeps up his trying to help and deescalate the situation, he's banned. The only thing he did wrong was overcorrecting himself on that tangent. I don't think that deserves a ban or even a warning.
11. Logan mentions society being horrible, because of banning helpful people like him. I don't think all of society is terrible, no.
12. One of the mods tells him to stop after mods say he isn't helping. He probably already understands that, and he was being helpful, so he was fine. He also mensions the reason for being let back in, for positivity. Logan was encouraging positivity by trying to end the drama. Logan states that he's not having a tantrum. True. He says he's trying to help. Good.
13. Here, Logan pushes the race thing out of the original context. He then incorrectly states that trying to help is bad.
14. He claims that the people there are sick, but he has no idea if that's true. If I was sick, I probably wouldn't be on Discord. He says the community is cold-hearted. Some people here may very well be, others are certainly not. I've had enough of the drama, too.
15. After the original person asks for help, Logan does the right thing and says to move on. Another one of the staff says Logan is distracting, but I really don't think so.
16. Logan asks if people can read messages. Of course they can!
17. Logan points out a threat/warning from the staff, then reminds everyone of the reason for Tasvideos being called Tasvideos. Again, trying to help people to move on from a conversation that really should have ended a long time ago at this point.
18. Logan points out the flaws of many online communities, some good things to know. Helpful. The other person tells him to stop because the mods said to, but if he's being helpful, I don't see a need.
19. Logan mentions the illogical nature of this conversation. The other person talking about the language says their depressed, Logan acknowledges that they are beginning to understand the situation.
20. Another staff member posts a Gif, inaccessible with my screen reader. Logan then makes an incomplete thought: "Joining TASVideos be like:". He forgot to put a word like "can" or "should" before "be."
21. He then suggests ditching the forum and server to avoid more drama. While that can certainly avoid drama, it's good to have a place to talk about submissions and other TAS/emulation projects. I agree that the situation is stupid, even more so now that he's banned again. Another LGBTQ+ tangent, and unfortunately, he hasn't posted anything here since.
